abstract:Ferret legging is an endurance test or stunt in which ferrets are trapped in trousers worn by a participant. Also known as put 'em down and ferret-down-trousers, it is a sport that seems to have been popular among coal miners in Yorkshire, England.
Who knows, perhaps if it is successful the great British tradition of ferretlegging, involving stuffing the creatures down trouser legs, might one day become a common sight in the bars of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
