An Argentine man who thought he bought a pair of poodles at an outdoor market in Buenos Aires brought them home to the vet only to be told they were actually ferrets on steroids, reports the Daily Mail. The man, a retiree from Catamarca, purchased the animals at La Salada, Argentina's largest bazaar. The veterinarian informed him the ferrets "had been given steroids at birth to increase their size and then had some extra grooming to make their coats resemble a fluffy toy poodle," the paper says, translating a report from a local Argentine TV station. He paid $150 per poodle. Another woman interviewed by the station said she was tricked into thinking she had purchased a chihuahua at the same market.

People are unable to distinguish rodents from canines?

Latinos, just a little bit smarter, better looking and gooder than white people.

Ferrets aren't Rodents, they're members of the Mink family. Nasty little critters with sharp, very sharp, teeth.

Where do Oh-ba-a-a-a-ama voters fit in? Latinos, just a little bit smarter, better looking and gooder than white people.

No problemo. I had a neighbor who kept Ferrets as pets. They are engaging and curious little critters - into everything. Not good around kids though.
