Ibracadabra 5 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 was there not a creature owned by hagrid that ate ferrets ?? Buckbeak I believe, I can also recall a Harry Potter film where they turned Draco Malfoy into a ferret... Bloody wizards In all seriousness though it is disgusting and I really feel for those who've had theirs stolen. Quote Link to post

pie-eater 377 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I wonder why theyre being stolen? I first assumed they were being stolen by other ferreters but they often seem to go at the tail end of the season. Unless workers are being stolen just in time for breeding. Ive heard the theory about them being used to bait fighting dogs but a ferret wouldn't take enough punishment would it? Quote Link to post
Mole man Kent 26 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ferrets have always been stolen down my way. One particular family are know for it. They're so called ferreters, but when it comes to summer and they have no use for the ferrets they either sell em or end up loosing em (where they don't have locators). It's a wrongen thing to do, especially when the ferrets have years of breeding in them. My poor old neighbour had it done 4 times and now doesn't even bother keeping them. A life long passion cut short because of thieving b*****ds 1 Quote Link to post
