On the bright side, his appetite has become much more healthy. He ate more at dinner last night than he had in quite some time (and kept it down -- a concern when coming off anesthesia). And begged some fish from our dinner.
If he had lesions in his mouth, that probably had a lot to do with the lack of appetite. Glad he's doing better.
I guess it depends on what your definition of "domesticated" is.

The contrast between that and the near-psychotic level of rails and warnings you see in major national parks here really struck me.
I love that! It was also really striking to me when we were in Grand Staircase-Escalante, how Disneyfied the parks are. It GSE, you can go anywhere, flood plains, slot canyons whatever. you're on your own. Which I admire.
Go BLM/national monument land.
IIRC, from conversations with Victor and Thessaly, ferrets are legal in MA.

That list doesn't include humans.
so, a building collapsed on 100 & Bway? anyone know of this?
Will someone who doesn't understand gravity actually comprehend a warning label?
Gravity is just a theory. School districts prefer to teach "intelligent attraction" these days.
My understanding of a domesticated animal, from a scientific/archaeological perspective, is that morphological changes in the animal have occurred due to human contact. So, for example, the modern farm cow is a lot different from the wild cow ancestors of the steppes. Mink that are kept at a fur farm may have a human-productive use, but they are morphologically unchanged from wild mink and are not domesticated by this definition.
