flash Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 found this on the net, and i dont agree with what is going on in this video, i think it gives ferrets and there owners a bad name. im not saying ferrets are horrid animals, as some of u know i have two of my own. but letting your ferret kill a mouse in your house for the hell of it, evern though you could have easily caught it is just plane horrid in my opinion. but this is just my opinion. ferret vs mouse cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul in North Lincs. Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I cant play the video.....is it a wild mouse or domestice mouse? If its been deliberaely staged then that would be cruel....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffygun Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thats just ****** pointless....the **** doesn't deserve animals. I have fed mice to my ferrets in the past but they were dead before hand. There was no need to let the ferret go about the mouse like that.

markbivvy Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 is it a wild mouse wild its ****** fuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Is it really that bad, we've had cats play with mice before killing them and I must say that when I've been feeding the Missus's horses and i've found her feedbins full of mice i've thrown a Jack russel in. Ok I can't see the need to film it but really its no worse than putting a ferret down a rabbit hole. Presumably it was a young ferret as it didn't really know what it was doing and the owner was presumably educating it to live food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Is it really that bad the act itself, i dont think so. to make a film of it and put it on the www.? says a lot about the owner me thinks. but there is worse out there.

Cranfield Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Its a "tame" mouse, a wild one is a different colour and wouldn't have stayed that still for so long. The ferret was also a bit of a softy, mine would have had it dead and eaten in 5 seconds. I also agree it shouldn't have been staged and filmed for the Internet.

flash Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 that smy thought exactly cranners, if the mice were a serious problem i would agree with ferrets, or terriers being used, but its a tame mouse and is obviously causing no damage, for christ sake it isnt even scared of the ferret.the ferret looks fully grown and an adult, and it acts like it has never killed anything in its life, so it hasnt got the killer instinct. and i know that mine would have killed it in and instant, because its what they do, i just disagree with the deliberate staging of it. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I agree, pointless waste of life really, and it does send out the wrong message about ferrets and their owners. I have put a few vids on here of shooting animals, but those were being shot anyway, and for food or pest control. That mouse could have been picked up and moved somewhere, no need to get the ferret at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead-Eyed Duck Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Years ago when I kept ferrets I had a call from a friend of a friend that was bothered by mice in his garage. He bred St Bernard dogs, and kept the dog food in sacks in the garage. Anyways, I took a couple of polecat jills to the garage, and sure enough some of the sacks had been nibbled, with the contents coming out on the floor. So I let the ferrets go, and after 10 minutes of nothing happening a mouse strolled out from between the sacks. On seeing us watching it ran like greased lightening up a coat which was hanging from a nail. At the top of the coat was the typical garage shelf, with lots of glass jars filled with nails and screws and such. One of the jills couldn't believe her luck, and set off in hot pursuit up the coat, and then along the shelf. Unfortunately, as she streaked along the shelf she dislodged various jars, which fell, smashing onto the floor. And that was it. The mouse was never caught, and I retrieved the ferrets and left the garage owner to brush up the mess on the floor I never did get invited back for a 2nd attempt Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Looks like a young ferret that has just learnt to kill. Not on though really is it. Better to take it out and introduce it to some ferreting, not kill a domestic mouse. Frank.

Ferret Master Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Its a tame mouse and a softy of a ferret. Mine are fed dry food but would have killed it very quickly. The mentality of the sort of person that would film that is questionable. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the wild the mouse would have its wits about it and not have just been placed on laminate flooring which is slippy. It would be disorientated and scared then some ****wit decides to set a ferret on it that doesn't know how to kill properly. It is also in the open. No weasel in the wild would survive if it took that long to kill its quarry as it would get away if it didn't kill it quickly and the weasel would starve. That video was pre-planned and the person that made it is severley messed up in the head. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
