BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE

[The one 8,479]

Aye its bad when somebody steals ferrets but this sounds more than that large numbers being stolen in the same place ?. Double padlocks on the huts and a security light wont stop them being stolen but it might make them think about it and slow them down

this is the same as the topic i put up entitled BEWARE ... 14 ferrets were stolen in one go from durrington 10 were nicked from an 82 year old fella that loves his ferreting and 4 were stolen from a lady down the road from him that were kept as her pets ... they tried to gain access to another garden in the area but the barking dogs put them off .............

I would think that they are being stolen for sale into the fur trade: fur can be dyed any colour. I'm sure that there was something about this a few years ago: cats and ferrets and pet rabbits being stolen in large numbers.

or maybe dumb ass anti hunt groups that dont like people hunting the rabbit are stealing them an letting them go you never know with anti groups!!! like many have said why steel ferrets when most of the time you can pick them up cheap or for free

I have often thought the same as you mate, that antis could be behind thefts.

Take for example the number of terriers that get stolen annually and are never seen again. Surely if it was hunters that stole them, the odd one would be sighted again. But on the other hand they were kept by non workers in pet homes then the dogs would never be seen again.

Few weeks back my garage was

Broken into and somebody had tried to take the ferrets. My hutch is padlocked but they had ripped it half way open. Think one

Of the ferret bit them and they f****d off as there was a bit of blood on the hutch and

Door handle. Found out a week later that my mate works with a lad who had a cut on his hand, he asked what had happened and he said he had tried taking some ferrets off a woman who had them in the garage( not knowing I was there). Bragging c**t. Don't wanna say too much but he got more than a

Fcuking cut when I got hold of him. Can't believe people take other people's animals because they can't be arsed training them themselves!

Advertising kitts or nets for sale is another way this scum find out where you live they phone you up pretend to be intrested ask your address then they have all the info they need they come back later maybe up to a couple of months later and nick your ferrets i know this for sure coz pykies did exactly that to a mate of mine and cleared him out they took the whole lot he was deverstated we have our ferret court hard wire alarmed padlocked and have 2 security lights also the dog goes beserk if the security lights comes on

some theiving bast*rds are not nicking my ferrets so be carefull if you advertise ferrets or nets for sale this is how they can find you

Last night a friends friend set up was broken into and 3 ferrets stolen in Ashford Kent

Please keep your eye out for 3 male ferrets - 2 black eyed whites ( one a caramel colour on his face ) and 1 pole cat with blaze on the back of his head the 2 white have both had recent surgery so will be easy to identify

I once had 14 ferrets in a large shed / avery. I went out to feed them all one morning and there was only 10! 4 missing. no holes etc found. Then about a week later only 8 left and then about a month later only 6 left. I set a trip wire across the bottom of the door with a 12g blank on it. I was watchin tv one evening when the blank went off and the bloke ran like hell lol

 

I think he though i shot at him lmao

Never had a ferret go missing since
