The irony is "this metatronis person" couldn't care less about being first. Like most of my LJ friends.
Ahh, there you've struck on the biggest (and most dangerous) ferret myth: they can't survive in the wild. At all. No hunting skills whatsoever, and ridiculously near-sighted to boot. No actual genetic relation to the wild Black-footed ferret. They're really only designed for a life of luxury, which is what they get with us. Another interesting ferret fact: They were domesticated by the Egyptians before cats. And they used to be used to run electrical wire through planes because they love running through tight spaces.
DDFL is the local pound.
I don't believe the owners actually see that part. Or maybe they do. I'm not involved with that aspect of business.
