Children & Ferrets: Safety Concerns -- powered by ExpertVillage.com

My opinion is that you should not have a ferret as a pet with children, especially small children

Ferrets in the news one of eight animals that are major health threats to children

Pets that are major health threats to kids including ferrets

Out of all these animals, how many kids own these ?

Reptiles
Hamsters
Hedgehogs
Monkeys
Baby chickens
Ferrets
Prairie dogs
African Gambian rats
Big cats
Raccoons
Other wild animals

Animals that are not recommended for children under 5 years old - do you know any kids asking to get a prairie dog, or baby chickens for a pet? I think there are far more greater health risks than this - like maybe vaccinations? or genetically modified food, or corn syrup in every food product, how about chemical in baby bottles the government denies causes cancer, or mercury tooth fillings that pose no danger? Are we eating cloned animals yet? Be sure to read the comments.
