Subject: RE: Bob C: The LONG Road to Domestication (Or post...)

All those thousands of years work to domesticate and tame the
ferret and what happens in Britain when rabbits become common?
We start breeding ferrets back to the indigenous polecat
population to improve their rabbit hunting abilities. Then in
the 70s we had to start work all over again taming them to be
finger friendly. ItÂ’s a very very strange world. Chris.
