It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Oh really? Do you know when about this practice started? My parents had ferrets a while ago and say they always stank. I didn't realize they could be descented.

As the popularity of ferrets as pets has gone up, more and more breeders are having the procedure done

The number one breeder in the U.S. is Marshall's, and the ferrets they don't sell to testing labs are descented for sure

And keep in mind, that the removal of the scent glands doesn't make them completely scent free, they'll still smell like a little animal (because duh), and if you don't maintain their living environment, they will make it smell just like a dog or cat would
