I'm not questioning the falconer. I'm confused. He says his birds are free to return or not. So far so good... BUT don't they have some kind of lead, sometimes with bells, attached to one leg? Wouldn't that adversely impact their ability to survive on the own. Not saying a bird would take this into account, just saying if they left, they wouldn't survive...
I can’t believe how out dated the information is on Ferrets in the documentary. I have been selling Ferrets in Japan for over 30 years. They are bred to be pets in America, not to catch rabbits. I have their scent glands removed, and they are neutered before being sold as a pet. That solves the odor problem and the issues of them escaping, breeding in the wild and harming the native wildlife. Our ferrets eat a dry high protein Keeble made just for them. If one of our Ferrets got loose it would find the nearest person for help/food as soon as it got hungry. We never feed them raw meat, and they are puppy dog tame. Not one bad incident in Japan in the past 30 plus years of sell thousands of Ferrets. I don’t know where this program got their information. They didn’t try very hard to find out how things are in current times. They are still illegal in some backward states that don’t understand the science.
Sorry but not sorry, I worked at the Wildlife Waystation and this woman was as good to the animals as she was horrible to her employees! Horrible and hateful to us! I can't say a good thing about her... I walked away being owed 3 months of salary, just disgusting! Many times I tried to approach her and the only thing I got was hate I lost my car and my apartment because of her
I believe all wild animals should be kept in the wild and get the correct help in situ . The people that are living in the area should be educated to support that help.
As long as its rescued and they have ABSOLUTELY nowhere to go, then i think its ok if people keep them AS LONG AS they have proper SPACE and make sure they have everything they need. OTHERWISE NO. Too many abuse sad cases whether wild or domestic.
What I do like is the fact that the owners of the sanctuaries realize that it is still captivity, unnatural, and hope one day it becomes unnecessary. And I agree, probably not in our lifetimes. Teach our children respect for animals, not ownership of them.
Have some pet owners crossed a line by keeping these wild animals in their homes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Those scent glands in Ferrets are there to keep their fur in condition. Do you stick a cork up your arse to stop your odor ?.
