And all those CARS are just GREAT for the Cali environment, right?

Are you suggesting that the original poster get a pet condor instead?
I doubt it is legal to keep many kinds of California wildlife as pets.

And I'm sure all those cats and dogs are indigenous to the area...
Give me a break.  It's not like a ferret owner is going to
let the damn thing out to go on muderous rampages all night.
I can see it now...
	Los Angeles - Scientists have finally discovered the cause
	behind the recent disturbance in the natural balance.  It
	was traced to a lone ferret, sneaked into the state.  The
	owner was arrested and the animal was destroyed.  Evidence
	suggests that the ferret was eating up to 5 different 
	species of California wildlife each night.

:With so many important battles to fight, why invent one?

The first step to eliminating some of these stupid laws is to point
them out.

If this whole stupid thread is just flame bait, then I have surely
fallen for it.  :)
