I think ferrets are legal here, actually I'm sure, they sell them down the street from me. The only reason I'm posting this anonymously is because I don't want anyone to have my e mail adedress. Sorry everyone. Ok, here's my subject. The only reason why politicians think ferts are wild is because they don't know what they are. I can understand why they are illegal in NYC, it's safety. For the animals hopefully and the people. But why in California? I don't get that. They are DOMESTIC not wild. They can't survive in the wild, that's why the Black footed ferret is endangered,I think. Either that or it is human development. At least we are trying to save him. Right? If they keep making them illegal, the little demons will be extinct and that is NOT good. How could they do that to the little fuzzballs?They won't escape (nuetered, mind you) band together, have babies, go to a farmer's field, tip over a cow and eat it. That's impossible. But people beleive that. Oh well, I don't live where they are illegal so I can't do anything. I hope I didn't offend anyone. If I did sorry, I didn't mean it. The people I am talking about just don't know about the little fuzzies. They should do research before they try to make ferrets illegal. I hope some day they will be legal everywhere. Heather (me) and Mickey or if you would prefer 3 month old, stair climbing, shoe chewing, getting inside TV, carpet digging, cage destroying demon. ( He's the best little fuzzball ever, he went in his litter box today. He's such a good boy) [Posted in FML issue 4020]
