I have seen an Italian television program about animals and it happened to feature ferrets that day. They said from what I understood, that ferrets are "wonderfull animals" (we already knew that), "exemperary pets in the hands of a truly concientious owner". As always, Europe is ahed of North America *AGAIN* <sigh>. ______________________________________________________________ Selena Simonetti [log in to unmask] "THERE IS PROBABLY NO HELL FOR AUTHORS IN THE NEXT WORLD--THEY SUFFER SO MUCH FROM CRITICS AND PUBLISHERS IN THIS!"
