Do people fight ferrets?
23 Answers
Hi there, recently I've been finding bloodied and seriously injured ferrets sometimes 5 sometimes 10 and this has only started since a nice gentleman has bought land and several large barns which he has converted one of which is down a long windy path. According to a neighbor (I'm always away on the weekends) every weekend a large number of people come down in nice cars and there is shouting and a lot of noise coming from the barn till the early hours till the people leave and then I find the dead ferrets on monday afternoon when I come back which is too much of a coincidence. The barn has high barbed wire fencing no windows and a large locked gate but several hundred metres away there is a large hill which overlooks the barn and I'm thinking of spending the night on the moors with a powerful pair of binoculars one weekend but I've been advised against this as it could be dangerous if found by any one of the many visitors that could be armed (They also shoot clay pigeons) So do people fight ferrets and should I investigate before getting the police involved as I would hate to be wrong and waste their time. Please advise.

Phone them immediately, and hound them till they agree to send someone out, then hound them again till you know for definite they've been and what the outcome is.
(as you've gathered, ive not much faith in the RSPCA, but who else can you call?)

I suppose that was a Rhetorical question jackthehat but as boo says maybe I should call the rspca first to 100% ascertain that they were killed by fighting each other which would then warrant a call to the police. Redcrx I have a farmer friend who disposes of the corpses of animals that I usually find around here for me.
Mosaic god forbid! I think the snow we have is natures own freezer and will preserve them perfectly for the rspca.

Whatever is going on, it needs looking into.
I've never heard of fighting ferrets to be honest. Maybe they're pitting dogs, like terriers, against ferrets??
It could all be something entirely innocent- however I personally wouldn't rest until i'd got to the bottom of whatever is going on.
Good luck.

Boo I'm like you and need to get to the bottom of it but as I said earlier these people could be armed and if they are up to a criminal activity and they find a lone stranger that has uncovered it and is alone in the small hours on the dark moors then who knows how far they would go to protect their secret.
redcrx because this has only been happening over the course of the last 8 weeks and even though all evidence looks incriminating I would hate to have the place investigated and raided with people getting arrested and then find out they were innocent and there had been a ferret disease or fox killing the ferrets and me left with egg on my face and an irate neighbor.
