The state has finally reversed the long-standing ban on ferret ownership. Reflection on this outcome reveals how persistence can alter even the most stubborn policies. We must now remain diligent to ensure the implementation process stays true to this new spirit of openness.

The illegalization of ferrets is irrational and shows the lack of research done on ferrets. Not only have they been domesticated for 2500 years, they are highly intelligent animals trained in Europe to control disease spreading pests. Since the Black Footed Ferret, before near extinction, was native to some parts of California, it is obvious that even if ferrets could survive without people they are no threat to anything other than mice and rats. On top of that, if California wants to claim that they are dangerous they should consider making dogs illegal because dog kill hundreds of people. Ferrets don't kill people, and only bite when they are treated poorly.
I've always wanted a ferret, but it's not allowed in California for moronic reasons. Obviously if other states have ferrets allowed it can't be that dangerous to own a fun, cuddly and loving creature. They let us have chînchillas when those are "exotic" as well. Why sell ferret food in stores in California if you cannot have them. Seriously <\3
I have always planned to move to California once I'm done with school, but this contradicts with my age-old wish to own a ferret.
My ferret, when I lived in Louisiana, was kindest, cuddliest, & smartest animal I ever met, to other ferrets, humans, & animals, like cats. I can cry when I think of my longing to own one here in CA! Plz inform me on this petition ONLY.
Ferrets are a safe animal for not just the average person but great for kids they deserve a home in California just like other states!
Why should California be the only continental state not to allow ferrets as pets. Its wrong
Legalize our furry friends!

If the ferrets and neutered or spayed it should be an issue to have them in California. They neutered and spayed the Ferrets before selling them at the pet store. I would like to move back home to be closer to my families grave but I refuse to leave my ferrets behind. I can't even go to California to visit because this ridiculous law
