Original Ferret Tale

Update - Reprieve for biting ferret

Fri February 25
The Advertiser
Adelaide

A ferret on death row for biting a policeman's penis received a court pardon yesterday.

The male ferret, called "Baby", is expected to be returned to his owner who escaped conviction on a charge of illegally bringing the animal into Queensland.

His owner, unemployed man Karl Sullivan, 20, pleaded guilty in Brisbane Magistrates Court to keeping prohibited wildlife.

The ferret was found on February 5 in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley Mall. While being taken away by police, it escaped from a cardboard box and bit the officer.

It is expected Sullivan will either take the animal back to NSW or give it to the NSW Ferret Welfare Society.

Say I did hear that there was a ferret over there seen licking his behind. Wonder if he was trying to get the taste out of his mouth LOL

Hey Shakey, glad you are laughing. Was worried about ya last night. This is too bizarre. I live with a damned ferret. He ain't bit me on the penis yet. But, he has done about everything else. They are so destructive and yet so intelligent ya can't help but love and protect them from themselves. Oh well, thanks Pieter and Shakey for the latest bizarrity. And.....yes that is a word.

This is way too bizzarre!!!! My aunt Gayle had a ferret when I was a teen (a long time ago) named bebe(I kid you not), anyway, she was having a party/bar b que one day in her L.A. home and the ferret was allowed to just run around the house. there was a guy there sitting on a chair in a very short pair of cutoffs and the ferret attacked his balls in the same kind of way! we just figured that she (the ferret) noticed the guys scrotum skin moving (the way scrotum skin does) and figured it was a threatening critter in his pants. too too wierd that this story came up here!
