Umm, ahh, okay, now tell me something.  If I buy a ferret from Marshall
Farms, transfer that little dude down here to southern Arizona and swap
him for a '57 Ford pickup truck:
 
Who's gonna tell Michigan and/or Marshall Farms?
 
How's the long arm of the law in the state of Michigan going to do all
these ugly things to me?  Extradition?
 
As far as I know there aren't many Michigan law enforcement agencies that
have jurisdiction in Arizona.
 
Not to mention that "permanent relinquishment of the privilege of animal
ownership." Whoa.  Are they going to visit me every week to ensure I'm not
harboring a fish or something?  Maybe a scorpion?  I guess scorpions aren't
animals.
 
Did I miss something here?
