Pardon my ignorance, but would a rabies shedding study in ferrets require the intentional exposure of rabies to test animals which would then be allowed to die from the disease? This would, I assume, require a sufficiently large number of ferrets to die to obtain a scientifically accurate result. Perhaps it might be better to not have these tests done, in the interest or preserving the most ferret lives? I'm not arguing either way, but I would like to know more about the procedures involved in running such a study. Does anyone have any information on this? <-------Stan Siatkowski------<<< Stan & Terrie in Toronto with <---Toronto Archery Supply---<<< Mookie,Cecil,Psycho,Cocoa & Stash [Posted in FML issue 1962]
