Haha! And that Rudy ferret radio interview was great! I seriously, seriously hope that man doesn't get anywhere. Incidentally, I have a new Election 2008 list...
Uselessness - given that there are specific words for male deer in each year of their lifetime (hint: count the antlers, and yes - I will get to this list eventually), it's a safe bet that the answer to your question is "yes". If it was ever important to make this distinction, in any culture, at any point in history, then you can be sure that English, inclusive to the point of promiscuity, will have borrowed all the relevant vocabulary needed to preserve the distinction.
If Rudy Giulani ever becomes president, expect unneutered male ferrets to become an endangered species, as the former cross-dressing mayor's intemperate views on ferrets and ferret-owners are well-documented.
Talk about a specific word. Is this like chained_bear's list, where there are a bunch of different words referring to the neutered varieties of different animals?

(Thanks for posting though. Another reason to pray daily nightly that that man doesn't win anything of more consequence than a ping-pong tournament.)
