California Ferret Legalization

[kuroneko]

Hi everyone!

First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mariah =]

As many, or some of you, may know ferrets are illegal in California.

Pat Wright, founder of legalizeferrets.org, is fighting to get them legalized.

We could really use your support whether it just be verbal encouragement, ideas on how to defend our case, or even donations toward the cause. Anything would be greatly appreciated! =]

Yay!! This is good to hear! I've heard all sorts of stupid, out of date reasons why ferrets are illegal in Cali... I hope they change this law soon.

Me too!

Pat has another meeting with the DFG Feb 3rd. I hope for good results. *crosses fingers*

Good Luck with your endeavour. From the point of a person who lives on a small island, it does seem silly that on one side of an imaginary line they can be legal, but cross the line into California, and they are the Devils spawn... weird...

You know....... The other day I came across an article ...... ----> www.comcast.net/articles/news-odd/20110126/US.ODD.Lost.Lizard/

"A police officer grabbed the lizard's body while Selter held onto its sharp, lashing tail, and together they put it in a compartment of her truck that's usually used for large dogs. Black-throated Monitor lizards are carnivorous, legal to own in California and native to the African grasslands and parts of Asia. Juveniles go for about $100 in pet stores, but they grow."

And I thought to myself, why oh why would a giant carnivorous lizard native to Africa/Asia and probably not neutered be legal there in CA...... but not a sweet adorable fuzzy ferret who mostly will be neutered responsibly Sheesh...
