any ideas

[Guest timeout]

Why is it that ferreting is pretty much exclusive to the UK?

Was just thinking earlier,usually we share similar things to our cousins over the pond,but i was speaking to an american and he says its not something they do. Does anyone know of any otha countrys that ferreting is popular.

A while ago my birds brother went to the states to do a guitar making course and some of them thought England was in London!!!! .D.

Most of the places i lived in the States, had rabbits, but rarely in burrows... maybe thats a reason why not there ? that and the weird idea that if a single ferret gets loose it will create huge feral concentrations that will destroy the ecosystem..

 

lol yeah right

I used to know an Australian who went out ferreting but I don't know if it's a popular activity over there.

I think part of the reason that there not widely used in USA is that they are illegal to keep in some states, for fear of them escaping and hybridising with the native White Footed Ferret, and perhaps others.
