Since my company has an office in Sacramento, I called to check status of the furrbutts out there. The aide in Wilson's office told me that he had no plans to change his anti-ferret stance. When asked why, the aide said that ferrets turn savage in the wild, and when kept at home become dangerous and feral. I explained they die in the wild, and are bred to live at home with people - I live with three of them, so I'm confident they are NOT feral. I asked where the guv was getting this information since it is so very wrong - you guessed it, Fish & Game. These people are crazy. I expected at least reasonable opposition, but this is incredibly wrong-headed and I was shocked. Conan the Large just romped past me, giggling. Right - feral and savage.
