Poor ferret. :(
My brother has a ferret that he brings over to play with the dogs (and me. I love the little critter) but even though they play rough, Sid is the instigator and eggs the boys on. Everyone loves it. They play with him just like he's one of the cats; I can't imagine ever letting the dogs hurt him!

That is cruel! Poor thing! I have a ferret of my own and he loves to play, but it's obvious the one in the video is NOT enjoying itself.

I feel for the ferret and for the dog being encouraged to chase it. It's really unbelievale how and what people and teenagers will do get their kicks, it just goes to show how we as humans abuse our own power as being the highest species on the food chain.

In certain cases of cruelty i sometimes am ashamed to call myself human, knowning what others can and will do to animals :mad:

It's really stupid on the humans part as well, considering they are risking injury of both the ferret and the dog. If the ferret decided to turn around and bite that dog on the nose... That would be one nasty, bloody mess. At the same time, that dog could easily break the poor animals back with one well aimed pounce. And yes, you can hear the ferret cry.
People supposedly are the smartest beings on Earth. Seems hard to believe after watching that...

I have two bunnies so I can relate.

I never let my dog free with them.

But I think the dog is jealous of the bunnies. When I have one on me, he absolutely HAS to be on me as well.

And he licks the bunny like crazy... and bites on their ears if I don't tell him not to. And he mounts the bunnies.

The bunnies are mostly annoyed by the dog :)

Thats disgusting :mad:. Can't they see that the ferret is terrified, it's desperately trying to escape. I can't believe they thinks it's funny AND I can't believe they made a video of it.

It seems strange to me that the ferret didnt nail that dog. He may have just been looking for a place too small for the dog to get ino then turn around and latch on. What bugs me is the "to be continued" message at the end.

That poor ferret.... Sick people. That is definatly NOT play. And the "To be continued" makes me angry because I know they will keep continuing to abuse this ferret and theres nothing I can do to stop them..:(
