Hi Again FML ;o) Well just had to respond to this one myself . . . >Third, put the ferret into a figure-8,single buckle harness,and cinch the >harness up so tightly that the ferret begins to choke.

Now this reminds me of the saying: 'I keep hittin myself cause it feels so good when I stop!!' Sounds to me like you are taking some already now abused little ferret and simply abusing them some more. Well, even if it would/did result in this poor dear 'being thankful to me' for having now stopped my abuse of it in my treatment, I think any method which offers any type of abuse to the ferret in it's process is unacceptable period. I'm led to feel deep sympathy and concern for any such biting fert that would have the misfortune to find itself in your hands for remedy. You'd likely not agree with my assessment, and that's fine, and though there's no amount of explanation you could give me to change my opinion of this method, in noting your apparent need to lash out at those who disagree with you on this FML from your prior posts to others, I would simply ask that if you care to assault me now too, please do so via private email! -- Fightin Furiously Fer Ferrets Freedoms Ferris (Get down?
