    Are there really laws against ferrets? Didn't know that. I imagine it's The Consolidated Ferret Act 1986 or something...

    Sure is. I don't think you can even get a permit to have one. You can get a permit and own a gun, but you can't own one of those damned dangerous ferrets! No sirree! Brings me to another point. You can own a Dingo (Australia's native dog) in this state...But only if it's neutered. Now how f**ked is that?! You can own a feral dog, cat, rat, mouse etc ad nauseum without neutering it... OK. I'm hopping off my soapbox naow. What were we talking about? Ferret brushes I think wasn't it?!

    Actually I think you're allowed a ferret if they CCW (Carry a Concealed Wombat)

    I saw some thing on Wombat's a few weeks ago on the boob tube. They have like an armored butt/rump. I did not know that. The chick was knocking on it and it sounded like a fiberglass bowl. Y'all have some weird critters down your way. Really cool, but weird.

    Default Ferrets

    Ferrets are illegal in California as well. They kill babies, so they say. I don't know their stance on Dingoes, but, I've heard they have a bad rep with babies as well.

    I wonder if you could farm them for Wombat butt shaving bowls...

    Yeah, apparently they take babies all the time.. (supposedly once, 32 years ago)

    I imagine that in certain situations an armoured butt/rump would come in handy...

    The gal said, when they're in their holes, they hunker down and if a critter tries to get it, it jumps up and squishes the critter's head between it's butt and the burrow roof. Hey, I didn't even know they had Kevlar butts, who am I to say she ain't right? Ya know Carl, if a critter is trying to chomp another critter that's running away, the lead critter often gets bit in the butt, kinda makes sense.

    I did find a picture of a ferret that explains why they are not allowed. Had no idea they were so scary looking!!
