Idiot parents are idiots. Leaving a baby with an animal, even a domesticated one, is just plain idiocy.

I'am kinda speechless. Surely the baby was screaming during the ordeal and the parents could not hear the cries or screams?[

CNN - Pet ferret eats seven fingers of baby boy

The mother was awakened at 2:30 a.m. Monday to her baby's crying, and she awakened her husband with screams upon discovering what happened, Ambrose said ...

...The parents said "they never heard the baby crying" until late into the ordeal, Ambrose said. "Who knows what's going on there.
:confused:

no only after a nice plop in their pants. Ferrets smell terribly 24-7. They have no redeeming qualities.

also babies aren't taken as pets.
I had two ferrets for a number of years. Getting them de-scented is a must, and proper attention to litterbox waste removal kept them as odorless as any other pet. They were a lot of fun, IMO.

Having said that, baby fingers are delicious.

it did what a ferret does. It's a wild animal. You kooks that think they should be house pets get what you deserve.

Dogs have been reported to have done the same thing. Should we apply the kook label to all dog owners too?

The parents are under investigation for not getting a license for the ferret.

Because clearly that is the main issue.
