FML People, I would like to think that this will be my last post on the subject of ferrets as hunters, not simply because the issue has become wearisome, but because the real issue has become hopelessly buried under "culture, heritage, ferret ancestry, UK law, US law" and so on. The real issue should have always been the safety of the ferrets. With ferrets in this home for the past ten years, we have obviously been through all the agony and heartbreak that comes with loving ferrets. But we also believe that they have blessed our lives beyond measure. Our philosophy concerning ferrets has never included "what can they do for us?". We think only of what we can do for them. That said, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that I consider the needless exposure of ferrets to danger not only totally unacceptable, but totally disgusting as well. Glenn J.
