Hello everyone, Ferret owner Joe Kouri appeared today on the steps of the State Capitol with Winston, his ferret, and neither Joe, nor Winston, were cited or arrested. Winston wasn't even confiscated! There were about half a dozen ferret enthusiasts with signs, which were confiscated, and about the same number of media. Ferret supporters were threatened with being cited for an illegal gathering but not for the presence of Winston. I think this should tell Californians that DFG is afraid of a legal confrontation on this issue because they know they are wrong! If their regulation has merit, why are they afraid to enforce it? It's such a same that this agency doesn't have the moral strength to do the right thing and delete the domesticated ferret from the State's list of prohibited wildlife. Someday ferrets will be legalized and apparently the agency doesn't care how ridiculous they look trying to stop the inevitable. Keep posted to the CFL website to find out more about how Winston and Joe plan to press the issue. They promise to fight until ferrets are legal in California.
