My God! A friend has just moved to New Zealand, and today she wrote me a note and said: >We were at a talk the other day and I discovered to my horror that ferrets >are considered pests down here because there are a lot of them and they eat >up shrubs and leaves etc. We were shocked!! I told Ken that the ferrets >who were pests were not related to Maddy or Theodore!! What kind of ferret would this be? I understand that my ferrets are mustela putorius furo - right? So what kind of ferret is running around wild in New Zealand? cmc -- Christine Code We shall find peace.
