This may sound an odd question to ask but why are ferrets banned in some American states? It would seem that not only are ferrets banned but people can actually get turned into Fish and Game for keeping them. Does anyone really care enough to both turning a ferret keeper in and if so why? It seems incredible to me that anyone could be bothered turning a ferret keeper in. I feel sorry for the ferrets. If they live as out laws then things like walking in the park, playing in the garden or even walking with me to the shop would be impossible. Why are ferrets banned in some American States?
