If this posts twice I apologize, I tried to post last evening but apparently it did not go through. Rather than answer all the specific posts in this very disturbing thread, I came to voice my opinion simply and as briefly as possible. I registered here only to express my view on this subject. My husband and I have 8 wonderful, beautiful ferrets, who are quite simply, our family. I have had almost every pet imaginable in my life and no pet has been as truly wonderful as our ferrets. I am apalled that a poll such as this even exists and that there would be any QUESTION or DISCUSSION over the OBVIOUS absurdity of any laws, anywhere, outlawing ferrets as pets. Perhaps the poll was not intended in the manner I interpreted it to be, but, just the fact that this question can exist is extremely disturbing to me. Ferrets are not rare or exotic, and there is ample information available to anyone who would take the time to be educated about them. Ferrets are a true joy in our home, they have brightened our life forever.
