King of the Ferrett Leggers…
Who knew this was a thing?
I can see now why a TV license is required in the UK… how else could they pay for such high quality public programming?

HaHa... Maybe it was an April fools joke.
Would the animal rights people make that illegal now?

From Wikipedia…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferret-legging Ferret-legging was an endurance test or stunt in which ferrets were trapped in trousers worn by a participant. Also known as put 'em down[2] and ferret-down-trousers,[3] it seems to have been popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England. Contestants put live ferrets inside their trousers; the winner is the one who is the last to release the animals. Ferret-legging may have originated during the time when only the relatively wealthy in England were allowed to keep animals used for hunting, forcing poachers to hide their illicit ferrets in their trousers. Following a brief resurgence in popularity during the 1970s, it has been described as a "dying sport",[4] although a national ferret-legging event was held in Richmond, Virginia, US from 2003 to 2009…

After a quick, inexhaustive internet search, turns out, ferrets really were getting 'legged' in Richmond. Last edited by LEAKYSEALS951; 04-30-2023 at 06:26 AM.. |

My wife is refusing to watch the "ferrets in trousers" video.
Sometimes I just don't understand her!
