Scamming the Stupid

Today's blog falls under the category "a special kind of stupid". The first time I read about ferrets being sold as toy poodles my mind refused to process the information,so I had to go back and find the article. At a bazaar in Buenos Aires,Argentina a salesmen has been passing off ferrets on steroids as toy poodles. First of all anyone who has seen both a ferret and a toy poodle would not be easily tricked into confusing the two animals,for crying out loud,they aren't even in the same family. The face of a ferret,is for lack of a better word,very weasel-like,their bodies are LONG as are their tails,of course a poor quality poodle can have a long body,but not a ferret-like long body! Let's see what else...ferrets don't bark,and their movement is anything but dog-like. My deepest concern over this whole fiasco is that people go out to buy an animal without knowing enough about them to even tell if they are getting a dog or a ferret,and with that amazing lack of knowledge how could they possibly give either animal a decent home? The following pictures are not very good quality,but I think most of you will be able to pick  the poodle puppy out of the line up.
