It's making me think about that "Place vs Place, Japan" meme except it's "Ferret vs Ferret held by a trans woman"
Like, other comments here are saying that this is about wanting to eradicate ferrets, but notice how Renée says "one vote from women" — so this definitely seems like TERF shit to me
She filibustered some TERF shit out of parliament the other day by talking about ferrets.
This is deffinitely transphobe swiss cheese brainworms but aren't ferrets smelly?
In the U.S, most ferrets have their scent glands removed before they're sold as pets, so they don't smell unless you put your nose right up behind their little ears
I don't know how it works in the UK, but the ferrets I have with their scent glands intact smell absolutely fine until they're provoked, then they spray and it smells kind of bad for a minute
Sort of like a sweaty onion
There's some spirited debate about it in the ferret community
Personally, I don't like it because unlike a spay or neuter, it's not really helping the animal (ferrets can get really sick during estrus if they don't rut)
Not to mention, the spray really doesn't smell as bad as some people think
Nowhere near as bad as skunks
Oh really? Do you know when about this practice started? My parents had ferrets a while ago and say they always stank. I didn't realize they could be descented.
As the popularity of ferrets as pets has gone up, more and more breeders are having the procedure done
The number one breeder in the U.S. is Marshall's, and the ferrets they don't sell to testing labs are descented for sure
And keep in mind, that the removal of the scent glands doesn't make them completely scent free, they'll still smell like a little animal (because duh), and if you don't maintain their living environment, they will make it smell just like a dog or cat would
First Sunak's threats to expand the badger cull to outright extermination, then this. Why are British reactionaries suddenly possessed by this raging, relentless hatred of mustelids?
doctor chicken camp the plague rat terf sounds like a bad improv comedy bit
Enjoy the dichotomy between her emphatically screeching "My body my choice" when it comes to spreading the plague while also desperately wanting to control what trans people do to their bodies.
I would probably try to make more sense if I didn't consider mending the rifts in my soul to be everyone else's job
Birtain not content to just eradicate the common stoat any longer. Genociders gonna genocide i reckon.
The UK Labour government is endorsing
mustelidsrodents and this just goes to show the calibre of their party
Discusting!! /sI wonder if this tweet is a reference to the recent filibuster in parliament tho?
