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.

BAY AREA: After meeting opposition from state lawmakers, backers consider other avenues
By Denis Cuff
CONTRA COSTA TIMES
Rebuffed for another year in their campaign to legalize pet ferrets in California, owners of the furry creatures are debating whether to take their case directly to voters through a ballot initiative.
California's Legislature adjourned last week without passing a bill that would have legalized ferrets if a study concluded the animals do not threaten native species.
The setback was the latest in years of failed attempts to change California's status as the only state in the continental United States that outlaws ferrets. Recommend this article... |

Kathleen Reardon hid her cuddly, curious and illegal pets for 10 years before burglars kicked down her front door on a cold January night and exposed her to the bite of California's ban on ferrets.
"Don't ask, don't tell" is the hallmark of the state's regulation of the ferret, a smallish otter cousin barred for environmental reasons in California but legal in every other state on the continent.
The burglars unknowingly dragged Reardon across the line.
When police responding to the burglary found nine ferrets nestled in their cages inside her Antioch home, Reardon felt the fear that unites and haunts California's underground culture of ferret owners: the risk of losing her pet family.
Ferret owners say their illegal status has influenced their lifestyles.

Compromise Offered: Now Up to Governor Arnold

There's hope for domestic ferrets to finally turn legal in California. Lt. Liz Schwall, who is in the enforcement branch of the California Department of Fish and Game, says that in her own personal opinion the pendulum is shifting in favor of ferrets.
"There's no doubt about public support," says Pat Wright of La Mesa, Calif., founder of www.legalizeferrets.com. Of course, the question remains about political support in one of only two states in the union where domestic ferrets are against the law (the other is Hawaii, where there's never been an organized drive to permit them). Efforts to legalize them in California began in 1987. It seemed last year ferrets had finally wiggled their way into law when at the last moment Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed legislation.
