Ferrets can be eaten, and others of this ilk. You have to remove the scent
glands first, and then the meat is a little gamey, but OK, apparently. I
think we got that from one of the survival manuals a loooong time ago.

We used to own three beautiful albino ferrets as pets. What cuties. I think
I could probably eat a ferret if I needed to in the wild etc, but wild ones
have an amazing temper, and you wouldn't want to catch it with bare hands.
