Through the Cage Bars: A Historical Look at Ferret Mistreatment
June 8 @ 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Join Kelli Thompson of Ferrets and Friends Sanctuary for an eye-opening talk that traces the long, often troubling history of ferrets—from beloved companions over 2,000 years ago to their widespread exploitation in today’s research labs. This session unpacks the cultural myths, misguided policies, and scientific practices that have shaped how society views and treats these intelligent, social creatures. Through a powerful blend of history, science, and advocacy, Kelli invites us to reexamine our perception of ferrets and consider what their story reveals about our broader treatment of animals. A must-attend for anyone interested in animal rights, ethical science, and compassionate living.
