I have a a dog which is a shitzu, a fish tank, used to have a snow rabbit (lived 9 years which kinda suprised me), two turtles, and now a hamster. I didn't really take care of them myself, and left them to my grandparents or something, but i did take care of my dog, btw her name is cookie.

They are indeed illegal in CA. I had one for a while, until my mom got mad at me and called animal control. Then they came and euthanized my little buddy and gave me a fine. It was over 10 yrs ago, so I don't remember the cost of the fine. But it did cost me my relationship with my mom.

I believe that they were originally illegal because the huge egg and poultry industry in CA. A family of Ferrets can decimate a Chicken farm in a matter of days. Plus they breed like weasels and could overpopulate and destroy our delicate ecosystem.

Your life sure has got a lot of misery, even more than mine.

Currently, I don't own any pets. I'm not really an animal person anyways, though I did have a bunch of fish in a large tank for a while. But about a year ago they all died and my parents didn't want to get anymore after the last string of deaths.

From what I read recently when one of my boys wanted a ferret, that's a fear/myth, because domesticated ferrets actually die pretty quickly out in the wild. Once people get that kind of idea, though, it's hard to fight it, esp. since some pets do cause trouble when they're released into the wild. 😔

I've always thought ferret was a wild animal... I didn't think it could be a pet =s

Well, I don't know how accurate the fear is, but I do know that the poultry farmers lobbied against ferrets for that reason. It's sad and unfair because Frantic (my Ferret) was one of the smartest and most loyal pets I ever had. 😔

There are wild ones, and domesticated ones, and they're quite different (from what I understand). All the ones sold as pets come from generations & generations of "farm" breeding, so they've lost a lot of the skills/instincts/whatever that would let them survive in the wild.
