It is surprising that people are so tolerant about ferrets. When we were
on the mainland, I'd always hear bad stories and read in the newspaper
about ferrets as pets. They would occasionally go ape-shit on babies and
cats. I don't mind ferrets myself - mostly because there ain't any
around for a couple of thousand miles on this rock plus I don't like
babies or cats. :-)
