>that emotions play a bigger part than reason. You've got about the same >chance of getting rabies from a bat as you do from your mom. So what're you saying about my mother? :) On a serious note: Debbie: I was shocked to read about the destruction of your ferret. I worry about this kind of thing happening a lot, because one of my ferrets is a biter. For that very reason, I'm the only person I allow near Scooter. It's another example of something that was blown totally out of proportion, probably by a hysterical parent, because of the ignorance and misconceptions surrounding ferrets. Had it been a cat or a dog, it's pretty likely nothing more would have been said. The whole thing makes my blood boil every time I hear about a ferret being put down for rabies testing.
