Legalizing Ferrets in California is a page that will have the latest information about the legalization of ferrets in California.
Why should you support this cause? Because it affects thousands of people across California. The law that bans ferrets in California is injustice. Ferret owners in California live in fear that one day part of their life will be taken away. Ferrets lifes are affected by this everyday. Ferrets can't leave their home and play in the front yard or at a public park because they can be taken away in a second. We can't allow this to continue happening, especially to a creature that is smart and harmless like the ferret.
Why is the ferret illegal in California? The Department of Fish and Game believe that if the ferrets were to escape from their homes they can overpopulate in California and have an affect on California's agriculture and wildlife. This information is untrue. Why? Because ferrets cannot survive outside their home for more than a few days because a bigger animal will kill them or they'll starve to death. Plus, most ferrets are spayed or neutered for health purposes. If the female does not mate while in heat, the female ferret will die.
