SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- They are furry and friendly
but ferrets are very illegal in California.
One group of dedicated ferret lovers is working to change that, NBC11's Mike

California and Hawaii are the only two states in the nation that have
banned ferrets as pets, Luery said.
The State Fish and Game Commission views the animals as "prohibited wild
animals."
Members of the group Ferrets Anonymous are working to get a measure on the
state ballot that would reverse the cuddly creatures legal fate.

(CBS13) SACRAMENTO California is one of two states
where you cannot own, buy or sell a ferret. And each year Californians
try to change the law.
This year, as CBS13's Dennis Shanahan reports, there is a new 'famous' face
fighting for ferrets. His name is 'Leatherface'. He's an actor, wrestler,
and producer living in Sacramento.
And now he's bringing national notoriety to the plight of the ferret here
in California.
"They're very calm. They're playful," Leatherface explained to CBS13, "They're
very loving."
The Sacramento man gently holding these furry ferrets is familiar to viewers
of the MTV hit show "Viva la Bam" as a black-mask wearing wrestler named
'Leatherface." A character who is anything but loving and gentle. Recommend this article... |

Derry –A local man faces an animal-cruelty charge after police say he kept a ferret in his custody hoping for reward money and wound up tossing it out an apartment building window, according to court documents.
Two witnesses told police they saw Wilton "Rusty" French, 44, who is described as homeless and living in Derry, throw the white ferret out of a third-story bedroom window at 15 W. Broadway, according to court papers. Police found the ferret lying dead on West Broadway on the night of June 30 after responding to a report of a domestic disturbance, police said. The ferret had apparently been run over, but police believe it died from the fall. Recommend this article... |

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - June 5 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In an open letter to Secretary of Agriculture A.G. Kawamura, dated June 2nd, 2007, the non-profit organization, LegalizeFerrets.org, part of the San Diego chapter of Ferrets Anonymous, requested a formal re-evaluation of the statewide ban on domestic ferrets (Musteo putorius furo).
"The ban on ferrets as pets in California is has been justified on a single, 18-year-old study, for which no background information is available," says Pat Wright, founder of Ferrets Anonymous and LegalizeFerrets.org. "The study is outdated and flawed. Since no one at the agriculture department or the Department of Fish and Game can give us any scientific reasons why domestic ferrets threaten agriculture or the environment, we feel the ban should be overturned."
