Hi, Sticking my nose in again I'm afraid.......surely you have some sort of animal welfare organisation over there (like our RSPCA) who will take on this case and prosecute the offender.I know that won't help these poor ferrets, but the chap in question should be tagged as a danger to animals if not people!Look at how Jeffrey Dahmer(sp?) started out. This bloke is a nutter and needs psychiatric help before he starts these tricks on children or old folks or someone else who will be helpless before him. Is there anything we can do over here to help? K. [Posted in FML issue 2144]
