I think people are making a ridiculous fuss about this, as long as they are not being hurt, and they bounce back for more, then however boisterous the game gets it's perfectly fine! I am often exhausted a good half hour before my woozles are done playing. Get a grip people, it's not like they are throwing kittens over walls or anything. Ferrets are extremely sturdy creatures and will let you know very clearly if they enjoy a game or not. - Chrissi Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:46:42 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-168 this is cruelty. its not physically harmful to them since empty plastic bottles but i dont think that guy would much enjoy being rolled into a ball and thrown into something. ferrets love to play but voluntarily, any true ferret lover or animal lover would have decency to treat their pets with respect. - ezzy Sat, 12 Jun 2010 13:42:13 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-159 ;D i think its funny now matter if they like it or not - rick Wed, 12 May 2010 16:57:49 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-158 i like loves ferret:(aw wala philppines ferret cuteeeeeeee - lorelei Wed, 12 May 2010 00:44:29 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-151 First off just let me say this is not by far cruelty to ferrets, I have 2 ferrets myself and although i do not bowl completely with them, ferrets are animals that love to do this sort of thing. my ferrets love my kitchen floor and will actually slide eachother across it. 2nd of all, this would be cruel if they were trying to knock something down in weighted value but plastic bottles? i dont think so.. give a ferret a plastic bottle of even a paper sack and they are happy for days! - Lori Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:42:35 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-149 Too many people now days need to mind there own business. If you have ever owned a ferret you would know they (most of them) love to be sled across floors and spun around in play. People see a film like this and automatically think wow they are mistreating something. America how great it is, but to many people telling everyone else what to do or how to act because they think something is wrong. - Daniel Irvine Fri, 23 Apr 2010 03:24:15 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-133 Well, I have never heard of this as being cruel, I read it, on a few sites dedicated to the love of ferrets and their care, that ferret bowling is a game. If you look at those pics, it looks like he or she is just throwing them, but I don't know about that. You are supposed to pull your arm a bit and slide them across the floor, and they love it. They aren't that fragile, and love to play so much, I mean why would the ferrets enjoy it so much if it caused them pain? - I spend my days researching ferrets Sun, 13 Dec 2009 08:18:24 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-131 We had a ferret that loved being tossed onto the bed. We would throw him, he would bounce all over the bed and hop around, super excited, then jump off and come back for more. When he was done he would just not come back to us. We also lived in an aparment we would slide them across the floor into blankets and stuff. I can't tell from the pictures if they are throwing them like a bowling ball or just sliding them, but the ferret does not seem to be hurt, so maybe this is being blown out of proportion? - Beth Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:48:27 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-124 i love ferret so much it u hert any animals u are go to pay for wat u did >:( - ana Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:20:51 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-111 :P my ferret loves ferret bowling too and when he wants too stop he goes to his hammock and sleeps it really isnt cruel its fun for them - matt Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:49:18 +0100 http://www.ferretlife.com/world_news/the_couple_who_used_their_pet_ferrets_as_bowling_balls.html#comment-109 they were not hurting the ferrets....ferrets love "ferret bowling" I slide mine across the floor all of the time and they dook and come back for more....now granted not all of them like it, their just like people....I say if they weren't hurting any of them then just let them be!
