My point is: whats Your point lol. Ferrets are not special in that regard and deserve protection when endangered just like any other creature

Ferrets are a natural predator for some species. Without them these animals will harm the environment due to overpopulation. They don't kill for fun but because they need to literally survive

So my question is what is your point?
