Yep, ferrets are and have been bred for fur. In fact, I believe that's what the equivelent sort of licence people owning ferrets used to have to get in many plac, a licence for owning fur animals . Some places still, I'll bet. Ferrets are not one of the most popular fur animals, but they ARE a commonly farmed fur critter :P Several times I've seen 'fitch' somethings in the classifieds. So know you know what 'fitch' means. [Posted in FML issue 2470]
