sorry so long
but please read!
Ok, I don't know how many of you know very much about ferrets so let me give a little background. ferrets are not rodents. they are from the Mustelidae family. which includes badger, wolverine, pine marten, sea otter, and skunk...etc etc. they are not mean. now do they bite? well, if you beat you dog or cat do they bite? if you slap your little sister does she bite? sure they can... like anything else. also many think that ferrets carry rabies. wrong. the virus has never been found in the saliva of a ferret. also if they do (I have seen the statistics but can't remember the numbers... trust me very small compared to dogs and cats!! ) get rabies they get dumb rabies. they just kinda sit there till they die. they don't get mean like other animals
this commercial is so wrong they don't even have a ferret sound. here is the main problem with this showing on the TV. many of us fight and fight to help people understand the truth about ferrets. then this comes up and because it is on TV... that is what they believe. so please help all of us that know better get this commercial off the air. from what I understand they wanted to use a cat first but decided not to because they were worried about what cat lovers would say. so why not use a animal that many people only have the wrong information on? so they chose a ferret. just go to vote verizon ferret comercial off site and sign the petition.
thanks very much!
