VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Authorities removed nearly 200 animals from a Virginia Beach home, including 89 frozen ferret carcasses. Police spokeswoman Margie Long said animal control agents found more than 100 live ferrets, a dog, a bird and three cats, most of them suffering from dehydration and malnutrition.

Long said the frozen bodies of 89 ferrets, a cat, a rat and an otter were discovered in freezers in the house and garage.

Sixty-one of the live ferrets had to be euthanized because of poor health.

Do they taste like squirrel?

Maybe they were destined for a Huckabee fund raising dinner..........

Letting animals die of dehydration is cruel but forcing Terri Shiavo to die of thirst was humane, don’t you know?

I used to have a ferret.

I actually found one when I was thinking about purchasing one. This was not long after Michigan made it legal to own them.

I lived in an apartment building and found it in the surrounding bushes while I was washing my car. I took it in with the intention of keeping it since I knew who the original owner was. He was a bandanna clad punk (aka gangsta) who live in the next building and it was obvious it had escaped.

I tried to shampoo the odor off it for the entire weekend and had to keep picking up poops so that was when I decided that a ferret was not for me.

At that time ferret rescue stations were being established knowing that initial owners may be disenchanted with them as pets and found a vet hospital within a mile from my employer. So the following Monday I took it to the vet rather than return it to its original owner...........

They definitely are cute tho.....

One of Hermione's best lines ever: "C'mon Buckbeak, come get the nice dead ferret"! Or in this case, frozen ferret. Doesn't excuse the POS that did this, though.
