MP Samantha Dixon MP (City of Chester, Labour) "..and talking of the RSPCA, i thought i would take the opportunity as it hasnt been taken many times, to actually talk about ferrets a little more (hubub of approval, MPs murmering "yay" and "ah excellent excellent") because obviously with the exception of the right honourable learned lady for Banbury i dont think we've talked about ferrets in this place at all, maybe talking more likely about Reverse-Ferrets than Actual Ferrets (laughter at the joke about transphobes). So im gratefuly to the RSCPA for their Fun Fact Sheets on ferrets which im going to refer because.. ive learned a great deal about ferrets while researching this particular debate (more laughter). Apparently ferrets are Mustela Putorius Furo which translates to "Stinky Raging Thief" and is a close ancestor to the european polecat and because of their charming and cheeky characters have become popular pets.."
