Guest on the hill Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) its down to commen sence how we look after ferrets, not pet owners! a hunter can tell you much much more about the animal than any pet owner Edited September 23, 2008 by on the hill Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 the point i am trying to get across here is that if it wasnt for the show/pet keepers we wouldnt know half as much about ferrets as we do now, who's to say we cant learn more from them ? i can honestly say hand on heart that the ferret and dog pet/show brigade have taught me nothing about general welfare feeding or conditioning of the animals i keep ... how can a ferret pet/show owner tell me anything about the animal when they dont keep them fit for purpose ... i can guarantee you that my regularly hunted ferrets are far fitter than a pet show one .... how can they teach me anything about nutrition when all they do is feed their animals from a sack because they dont go out and hunt and therefore dont feed them on the raw carcasses that the ferret needs to be in top condition ... if little fluffykins gets a sniffle then they run straight down the vets and pump it full of antibiotics ... how does that teach you anything about treating general ailments ??? ... take a look at the pinned thread by jojoamojo on health issues ... apart from if the ferret has ticks the rest of her advice is get to a vets or get it some antibiotics !!!!!!!!!!!! i have forgotten more about the keeping and welfare of ferrets than most pet/show people will ever learn .............

socks 32,253 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Can someone post links to this mass influx of ferret show threads on quick glance I can't see any...? nobody said that there was a mass influx of show threads ... BUT there are plenty of show pet keepers on here that talk nonsense on most of the posts and try and drag in their fluffy attitude causing arguements on most of the threads ..........

stubby 175 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I can understand members getting fed up when they see post after post about "mitzy" playing happily, but a post like this that wants shot of "pet owners" then seems to creep into "anti's" as well, lets think about it here, would an anti show themselves like that, start posting stuff that would attract attention to themselves and get them a ban, or would they keep quite, maybe pretend to be a hunter so they fit in, it would be very easy to do such a thing, the same as this site having lots of armchair hunters, where do we draw the line shall we have a seperate set of rules, maybe you would need to be vertified by another, to prove you have ferreted, or post a set amount of "topics" per month, not just replies to stay a member Im sure we'd start getting moaning posts then, if someone got deleated, as for the remark of "mods doing their job", the word job sounds like we get paid for it we dont, we do it free of charge, in between all our other stuff,ie work,sleep,eat,hunting ourselves, oh and looking through loads of new posts each day, trying to sort out the good and bad amongst you all, work it out for yourselves, divide the daily post count between mods and you'll get my point, or not out of interest, should I deleate and ban myself I keep ferrets for ferreting, but my daughter has 2 pet ferrets that live in the front room, I dont post their funny antics and what they get upto on here, as they are not "hunting ferrets" but admit to letting a few get posted, if I know they too are proper ferreters Quote Link to post
