In regards to the whole Pat Wright incident, I am baffled as to why anyone would "tempt fate" by taking their ferrets to a public park (or out in public at all) when they are illegal there. I feel very bad for these animals and hope they are not destroyed, but I really feel that this was not a wise decision. Ask yourself this question: Would you smoke marijuana or do cocaine in front of a police officer knowing full well that you would be going to jail? My guess is no. Nobody is above the law. Unfortunately, the ferrets are the ones who are going to suffer the most from this and they are not the ones who chose to be out in public. I think you all get my point, so I do not need to elaborate. Hopefully, this will not be all over the papers. This would not help the cause for legalizing ferrets in California.
