Don't piss down my neck then tell me it's raining......... Ferrets, Fanatics, and Fucked uppedness.
I probably should have saved this title and text for a Fast Eddie Friday installment, but I'm about to bust a vein in my forehead if I don't spit this shit out. If any one thing will keep me hanging on to this blog, it will be my need to vent to someone other than my Girl, my dogs, and the TV screen. You long time sufferers of this blog have by now formed an image of me and how you think I probably spend my time, how I react to certain things, how much dope I smoke, shit like that. If you imagine that I sit in my recliner in a haze of ciggarette and weed smoke, yelling at the talking heads on the news, while Max the Yorkie bogarts the footrest of said recliner, then sadly you are spot on. If you imagine that I blew a cerebral gasket over the story of the finger munching ferret out of Grain Valley, again you hit a bullseye. If you haven't heard about the latest case of extreme Hillbilliness to come out of the great state of Missouri, then allow me to enlighten you.
The short version. A couple of mouth breathing breeders spit out 3 or 4 kids. They decide that a Ferret would be a great addition to the Family. Their youngest, a four month old boy is turned into a buffet for the ferret. As mom sleeps in the living room alongside the baby, and dear old dad snoozes in the bedroom, the ferret casually eats all of the infants fingers, save both thumbs and a pinky. The baby according to the parents screamed but not before being turned into lobster boy. That's right, these shit weasels were supposedly right there in the house, even in the same room, as the Ferret, also a weasel, ate the baby's fingers off like they were those little pickled ears of corn that come in Chinese food. I don't think most people actually eat those baby ears of corn, I know I don't. Sadly Ferrets don't have that same aversion to baby fingers. Apparently baby fingers are to Ferrets what Gates ribs are to humans. The Grain Valley Police are investigating the matter.
Are you fuckin kiddin me?
No, I am not....
Look, I lost just partial bits of two fingers in a motorcycle related incident. Chains, sprockets, copious amounts of weed, and moving parts are a bad combination and I've got the nubs to prove it. Doesn't take a major brain to figure this shit out. Same goes for this Ferret incident. Expect the parents to be charged, and hopefully anything living and breathing in their home will be removed for it's own safety. Strangely the actual incident isn't what has me wound up. The incident speaks for itself, so you don't need me to tell you how fucked up it is.
Now here's the rub. The Ferret rescue lady. "I was just devastated for the baby. I was devastated for the ferret. I was just, I'm shocked, quite honestly. Because that is not normal ferret behavior," said Sharon Cannon, director of the Kansas City Ferret Hotline, a rescue and adoption group for the animal. She continues. Cannon said it's wrong to assume the animal just snapped. She said it needs motivation to do something and it often times responds in the manner in which it's being treated.
"The ferret became an animal, because they were forced into that situation, absolutely. The ferret didn't go crazy," Cannon said.
Ms. Cannon spit this bullshit out on channel 5, which makes her fair game. Kind of like baby fingers to a Ferret. This whack job and defender of Ferrets is a prime example of why we are all doomed. The money line,
"The ferret became an animal, because they were forced into that situation, absolutely. The ferret didn't go crazy," Cannon said.
I guess I missed the part about what the Ferret was prior to it becoming an Animal. You can catch the video here. Call me crazy, but I always assumed Ferrets were animals from the git go. What with the Fur, pissy smell, and mouthful of needle teeth. Somewhere buried in this blog is my tale of the Ferret I once owned. I can't find it because the search function is all fucked the fuck up. My experience with the Ferret was not good, it bit my feet when I'd walk across the living room in the mornings, it even bit my junk (no Liberace) when I woke up with a pup tent one morning. I ended up trading it for a bag O weed. Ferrets are wild animals that have been domesticated to some extent, and I'm sure some of you rubes will enlighten me on how warm and cuddly they are. Having been bit on the dick by one , unprovoked, I'm gonna beg to differ on how cuddly they are.
But back to the crazy Ferret Lady. Nobody forced that Ferret to be a Ferret. It already was a Ferret. The problem is people. When that Tiger tried to date rape Sigfried or Roy, it was just a Tiger doing what tigers do. When that chimp ripped that woman's face off, it was just being a chimp. When that ferret ate the baby's fingers, it was being a ferret. Nobody turned it into an animal. The problem is irresponsible retards turning animals in to people, then acting all surprised when they do animal type shit. Maybe if the crazy Ferret lady had suggested that people shouldn't have a ferret running wild around an infant, I'd have given her a pass.

Awesome post.
ReplyDeleteCliff and I can't believe the ferret ate that many fingers off the kid with a parent in the room. One finger bitten off would have aroused such a scream he'd never have had the chance to work on fingers of two hands! Somebody was either out of the house or stoned out of her mind.
ReplyDeleteThere isnt enough dope in the world. I'm betting on home alone.
ReplyDeleteDick biting ferret-has to be the funniest thing I read in 2011
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe this story when I saw it either, but you bring up points I had not yet considered. But that quote about the ferret becoming an animal - I don't get that. Are they saying that at some point the ferret becamce NOT an animal, and then turned back? That the animal ceased to be an animal when it became a member of the family?
ReplyDeleteNever leave your kids alone. Any leaving them with the family pet is STILL leaving them alone.
I'd think that it didn't eat the fingers one by one. It probably bit off all three on one hand, and then the four from the other before the baby could finish it's deep inhale in to begin it's wailing with. One thing that always freaked me out about the ferrets I've had the chance to be around: they're fast.
ReplyDeleteOr, the baby was screaming, and the mom was ignoring it because of a drug-induced haze/tiredness and hoped dad would come in to help out, so the baby kept on crying, and after a little bit, mom finally made her way over and discovered that it wasn't a bottle or a dirty diaper that had her kid up in arms.
I hadn't heard about this story, MM. Good post, man!
Peter Capstick wrote some really cool books (IMO) about his time in Africa. I mention this because of his commentary on Elsa the Lion.
ReplyDeleteEssentially, he said that the indigenous folks who worked with Elsa the lion, and her offspring, were occasionally eaten by the lions. Now thats what I call, fuckin the help. This happened several times, so apparently the menu was a big hit with everybody.
In addition, the movie Hatari had a "Handler" for the lions and some of the other wild animals on the set. The lions ate him too.
Sorry to ramble on, but there is a movie about Timothy Treadwell called "Grizzley Man" (I just watched it again two days ago.).
He was the guy who went to Alaska every year to 'take care of, and watch over' his Grizzley bears. The guy was on Letterman and was fairly well known a few years back. He is NOT so well known now, cause the fuckin bears ate his ass.
This is one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen. It is in NO WAY supposed to be funny, but oh my god is it funny!!
I have seen it a couple of times with some friends, and we all dothe same thing. At various points in the film, we spontaneously scream "RUN FOR YOUR FUCKIN LIFE!!! FOR GODSSAKES RUN!!!"
Treadwell is crazier than a bat that eats nothing but batshit. Jesus god its funny.
If you don't want the family pet to eat you, raise cows or really small birds. Otherwise you are just taking your chances. And don't let that "I'm small and cute" thing fool you. If he were hungry enough, Max would eat your foot.
ReplyDeleteEven though this is a true horror story, I can't help but laugh my ass off at the thought of that ferret biting your dick and trading him for some weed...lol...bet he went gift wrapped lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd baby corn is good, man.
Now I hear the parents planned to have the ferret's teeth pulled because it had bit the baby twice before the latest attack. Disgusting . . .
ReplyDeletePatrice here. Look I have been involved with ferrets for many years now and the rescue work for ferrets. Ferret come into the rescue in many different emotional conditions. Just like with a dog or any other animal (humans are technically animals too). If the dog or ferret is expected to fend for itself with scraps around the home to eat and is not fed regularly they will eat what they can. They ARE animals and they follow their natural instinct to survive. They are highly intellegent and can be rehabilitated. How many stories do we read about dog attacks and we know it is because the way the dog was trained and treated that caused the attack. How many times have we read the new where a man was murdered by an abused wife... it all comes down to an eventual kill or die survival instinct. Fact, Parents are negligent. Fact, Ferrets and people are animals.
ReplyDeleteAnd your right. Ferrets should not be left alone with children...Patrice.
ReplyDeleteFor some hairbrained reason, I didn't think ferrets were meat eaters. Until I reminded my self that their dentition is pretty similar to a cat, which is an obligate carnivore.
ReplyDeleteHungry ferret was looking for something to eat, and found it.
Damn, funny stuff...but not funny. Those who get munched by the tiger they are keeping in a cage in the back yard, deserve their fate. Ferrets are vermin, what does one expect from vermin? Thanks for backing me up! I barely trust my 4 pound yorkie mix, (he hogs the remote).
ReplyDeleteMark-I couldnt agree more the retarded parent line.
ReplyDeleteOops, thats "couldn't agree with you more".
ReplyDeleteI just had someone tell me that a person in the know in Grain Valley (yes, this is heresay at this point) said these people had another child die early last year. Not sure where to verify this but it should be public record...
ReplyDeleteSituation like these always have a drugged up negligent parent to blame.
