Someone asked me *why* hunting with ferrets is illegal, and I haven't the slightest idea beyond it being bad public relations and a good chance of losing a ferret. Does anyone here know the history of said illegality and/or other specifics? Is there a textbook, legal manual, or website that might be useful? Seeking info only; my guys prefer the sofa, a raisin, and a football game. Go USC in the Rose Bowl. (A Northwestern gal rooted here; why can't I?) On another note: HOORAY MA and 295, though it's a bittersweet victory for us out west. We now have the honor of having the stupidest, stubbornest state gov't in the USA. Swell. There *are* some good people working on CA legalization but they've got a gigantic, immovable object to push. Grumble, grumble. Congrats! anyway. Wave your buds and thumb noses at Fish & Game for us on March 7th. [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1408]
