Rochester pet store sends out APB for missing ferret |
1/30/07
WKEC-TV - Rochester, NY
 A pet store in The City Of Rochester is hoping a ferret thief will come forward. The animal was stolen from Park Avenue Pets on Monroe Avenue. Owner Lisa Bilski has a sign in the front window asking for the thieves to return the ferret safe and sound.
Bilski believes it was stolen two weeks ago, when two women came to her store asking questions about the ferrets. The two left then returned later that day and that's when the animal vanished. Bilski has contacted police and now she's making a plea to the community. Bilski says all she wants is for the ferret to be returned, with no questions asked and no charges filed. |

Ferret fanciers rally -- again -- to legalize their outlawed pets

San Francisco Chronicle
Trying to legalize ferrets in California is like being a Chicago Cubs fan -- you get used to losing. Nobody is giving up, though. Much like the doomed baseball team, there is something about the outlawed mammal that inspires perseverance and devotion.
This afternoon, at the Radisson Hotel in Brisbane, ferret fans from around the state will get together for the 2006 Legalize Ferrets Revival -- the latest attempt to come up with a winning strategy for these perennial losers.
"I needed to give the ferret community a sense of enthusiasm after many years of defeats and disappointments," said organizer Pat Wright, founder of Ferrets Anonymous.
However, even he admits they don't have universal appeal. Recommend this article... |

There are more than 500,000 outlaws living among us in this state -- and that's just the furry, whiskered, pointy-faced ones.
Are these ferrets not among God's little creatures? Do they not deserve the same legal status as puppies, kitties, rats?
That's the mournful plea that continues yearly from ferret devotees, who yet again have failed to persuade the state Legislature to make California like the other 47 continental states -- a place where ferret lovers can keep their weaselly pals legally.
So now they're considering a statewide ballot measure. Ferrets are worthy pets, advocates will tell voters. They'll insist that ferrets are not biting, potentially destructive beasts that can escape, form wild colonies and despoil native flora and fauna, as opponents say.

Underground pet owners, supporters to gather in Brisbane

BRISBANE — A lifelong apartment-dweller, Lili P. ran the gamut of appropriate pets for limited living space.
Fifteen years, ago, she found her way to ferrets, members of the weasel family. Her latest furry companion is an all-white ferret named Casper.
"I went to Reno. I knew they were illegal. I purchased a ferret at a pet store and I haven't looked back," said Lili, 43, of Brisbane, treasurer of the Northern California Ferret Alliance. "He is just a bundle of joy. He puts a smile on my face when I get home from work.I just only wish that I could take him out."
It's perfectly legal to own a frisky ferret anywhere else in the continental United States. Enter California with one of the cuddly critters, though, and you risk the wrath of wildlife officials who fear a feral ferret outbreak that could imperil native birds and other animals.

FERRET STOLEN-- A ferret was stolen from an Orem pet store Monday.
A man and a woman entered PETCO, at 85 S. State St., and while the woman kept a store employee busy, the man picked up the ferret and left the store.
The employee wrote down the license plate number of their silver-colored Oldsmobile Alero getaway car, but Orem police were unable to match the plate number to any number in the Utah system.
If anyone has any information about a stolen ferret, contact Orem police at 229-7070.
