Reading the Chicago Tribune this morning, I found the following article: FAMILY FERRET BITES BABY GIRL 50 TIMES From Tribune News Services February 23, 1998 [Moderator's note: Article deleted due to copyright restrictions. BIG] Let us remember that even the most sweet and docile ferret can bite, hard, and for no apparent reason. People with infants and small children should be aware of this, and take precautions. As wonderful as they are, thousands of years of domestication have not completely bred out the "killer" instinct they used to have! But I love 'em anyway! --michael, cinder and woozle _________________ Michael R.
