This upset..And pissed me off...

Parental Neglect blamed on Ferret

For the record, I found the entire ferret-related allegations beyond absurd..
Why?
Let's start with the "chewed off fingers", even if {big IF}, the Ferret were capable of such a vicious attack, within the first bite, that child would be screaming his head off....
Ferrets have big fangs, I've seen a defensive bite, one of my friends, a grown 6 foot 4 inch Leather Daddy hopped around howling in pain, after a quick sharp bite on the meat of his thumb {I did warn him when I saw my furkid get skittish}...
Imagine a toddler??
Second of all, in all this, why wasn't she paying attention to her children to begin with??[Charge of Neglect]
The father put 2 + 2 and got 9, after seeing the ferret near the child....
I think they're trying to weasel {all pun intended} their way out of Animal Cruelty + Gross Negligence + Endangerment charges{not to mention Drugs}...
At this time, the Children, according to the articles, have already been placed in Foster during Investigations...

Either way, that poor ferret did Not deserve what they did to it...
That, and in Missouri apparently, ferrets have a bad "Rap", a few Advocacy/Rescues are trying their damnedest to contain this sudden wave of Misinformation..
Like I've said before countless times, a properly cared for Ferret, a well-trained Ferret, a Healthy Ferret will not bite unless they're Hyper {and even then it's a playful pinch, u can't put your mentality with theirs, they only know their playmates can handle rough play...} or Defensive, and they Always give fair warning {Bushy Tail, defensive stance, Hiss}...
Like a Dog does, when cornered, or scared...Growls+bark...
Like a cat does when pissed off or Scared...Growl+Hiss...
Like a skunk does when scared or Cornered...Growl+Stomp+Raise ass....
Any animal will bite in defense...
I find it very very dubious the poor ferret in this case chewed that infants Fingers off....
No, "food" is not a reason...
Ferrets Imprint, which means they're incredibly stubborn with their choice of Food, and if something tastes weird, they leave it {Bloody Finger, ew blood, anyone?}
"Raw" diet doesn't do that either...And I really doubt this ferret was on "Raw/B.A.R.F" diet...
And the Ferret in question is Not Rabid....was not

I intend to Quash this myth in my town that "Ferrets are Vicious", come Spring and the Ground thaws..
