Transcript:
In Yonkers, New York, a teacher serving a sentence for kidnapping was fired 11 months after entering prison. Ready? The sport of ferret legging requires a person to set to ferrets loose in their pants- underwear is prohibited, and the ferret's must have a full set of claws and teeth! In 2005, Frank Clewer of Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia, built up so much static electricity in his clothes- 40,000 volts- that as he walked, carpets ignited in plastics melted!

And just where is this sport known as ferreting legging played? I certainly wouldn’t two varmints scratching and biting me under there.

The TV show “Warehouse 13” created this sweater worn by Frank Clewer for their show. Sorry Ripley’s, you’ve been taken in by a fictional item.

It is probably dangerous for ferrets to turn them loose in your pants. If they feel your fear they might nip and you might freak out and end up hurting one.They are so sweet, and those bred professionaly are not vicious.To turn a teacher loose for kidnapping in less than a year is criminal.

High voltage alone isn’t harmful. It takes wattage/amperage to do damage.

@Wabbit—-The teacher was FIRED, not freed.

Anyone who uses an animal for entertainment that way deserves anything he gets. I owned pet ferrets for two decades and they are nice—if high-maintenance— pets.
