As I understand it, that's not illegal. But taking them round to
someone else's property and siccing them onto rats would be. If
there were three.

Oh, I'll just send two, then. ;-) Actually, we never urge them on to do
these things here or anywhere else. They just do them. But presumably if
someone used a few ferrets, they'd be within the law!
