Ferret for food?

[JRLongton]

Have you ever been around a pet ferret? They do bond with you and are truly pets. I had a couple of great pet rats as a kid, even taught them tricks. And my daughter has a pet chicken that actually will sit in her lap and beg for head scritchies and purr! (yes chickens purr)

I've been around ferrets understand that almost any animal can be a pet.

If an animal is not a pet, has no bonding/trust with people, then yes it can be food.

I think this is an excellent point and fully agree. It does seem like a betrayal to take an even partially socialized animal and make it food.

Though, again, we don't know what the deal is with the ferrets in question, and I remain convinced that the OP would act appropriately.
