My friend found a lurcher late last year and was told that if she homed the dog within her property (ie not with in a registered rescue facilty) it had to be advertised as found and its location given to the relevant authoritities so the owners had the best chance of its return. As it wasnt in a rescue facility she had to give 28 days not 7 days before claimining ownership. This woman who had your ferret would proberly have more success returning lost animals by putting her time and money and energy into advertising their presence. A found animal should be kept seperate from others anyway so

The "pet" forums do have their place and i do think the two should overlap

Well done Kay. I am guilty and sitting back and not getting involved in the discussion on the other site and dont have the depth of knowledge and experience to contribute here. Some people i dont believe will change their opinion but your idea is fab and sure it would change some minds. I have started to reply to the negative responses to "workers" but felt it was like farting in the wind ... either will come back and hit me or just fade away.
