| Where's my £3,000 ferret? |
Scarborough Today
FRED Astaire, probably the most valuable ferret in Scarborough, is on the run.
The four-year-old female, which cost her owner almost £3,000 to ship to Britain from Canada, slipped out of the door on Tuesday and has not been seen since.
Bobbi Benton, who moved to Scarborough last May, paid £2,400 on the animal's quarantine alone and would be devastated to lose her best friend.

OLDHAM ferret fanciers have joined a local Euro MP in slamming Portugal for not allowing British owners to take their furry pets into the country.

THEY can travel to the Alps for winter, spend springtime in Paris or summer on the Amalfi coast.
But EU bureaucrats have ruled that ferret owners will not be allowed to take their pets to the Algarve.
Merseyside Lib Dem MEP Chris Davies had tried to overturn a ban on ferrets travelling to Portugal.
Today Mr Davies said: "This is a massive blow to ferret owners in Portugal and in the north west. There is no scientific justification for the ban."
Ferrets, like dogs and cats, are covered by the new European pet passport scheme allowing than to travel with their owners, except in Portugal where it is still illegal to keep ferrets as domestic animals.
Thorr Yngvisson, who started the UK's Ferret Welfare Society in Wirral, said Merseyside's hundreds of ferret fanciers would be devastated by the news. Recommend this article... |
