And do this is exactly why I began the quest of fact gathering here regarding this case and the topic of ferrets "eating" humans in general. Number one I was seeking a few but vitally important facts so I could write up some example statements for everyone here to be familiar with. That way when confronted with the press or even an argument, be able to rotely spit out the inarguable facts. Number two, I was thinking about writing up a long report for a lack of a better word and post it on a page within my web site about the crazy myths about ferrets eating babies. I was hoping that with the right title, etc, that google would pull it up high on the list if anyone tried to research the subject so there was some balance there. I failed the first task. I could not find the information that I needed. I do have enough information and anecdotes to accomplish the second goal very well I"m happy to say. All thanks to so many here. I 've not proceeded with the project because I have other projects I'm in the middle of and some priorities in my personal life to take care of first. I'm now looking at the end of April being the earliest I could do it. I hope. Dont worry. This will be a page with exhausting "truths" about ferrets and biting. The anecdotes and experiences are from highly respected people. Nope, have no clue what happened with the case. Sheesh. I"m starting to wonder if they ever did perform a necropsy on the ferret. Either they didn't and lied. Or they did .... and lied. With all of the attacks after all, if any flesh at all, was found in the ferret wouldn't they have provided the reports waving them in the air in our faces? Apologies for the delay Wolfy [Posted in FML 7000]
