I'm sure there are those people who would try and blame it on immigrant Bulgarians or Romanians, but those people would be readers of the Daily Fail or the Guardian.
STONEHENGE, England—Ken Jenkins knelt on this desolate plain one recent morning, gazed at the looming stones and pondered one of the seemingly unsolvable mysteries that swirl about this prehistoric monument:
Why are people stealing ferrets?
My money is on Dowley...

I think the biggest question has to be why is this article even in the WSJ?
Ferrets are great pets, used to love watching my mate's ferret eat a hen's egg when I was a kid. And more recently (7 years ago) the way home from the bars of Cleethorpes I spent about a quarter of an hour trying to entice out from under a car without success (and wasn't just seeing things).

You weren't seeing a ferret, it was an old sock! 5 pints of Old and Nasty will do that to a mans' vision.:O:
Felonious feral ferret filchers, perhaps?...

Ferrets are great pets

Definitely wasn't a sock, definitely had four legs and a tail and look remarkably ferret-like. I wasn't that drunk. :D

That explains everything. Thanks. :up:
Apart from the smell
It lived in the garden shed, we only played with it in the garden on nice sunny days so any smell didn't affect us, and I don't know if prepubescent boys have any real sense of smell - I know they don't a little later in life. :hmmm:

Honey badgers are double-hard and stone cold crazy. This is why a lion will abandon its dinner if a honey badger takes an interest.:o

Thick skinned little buggas if they can raid a bee hive for honey and kill puff adders for breakfast. If they were native to Ireland, Saint Patrick would have been out of a job.

That's too bad, as his B-day is coming up and I already bought some ferret snacks and vodka for the party.
