What We’re Doing to Legalize Ferrets and How You Can Help
The goal at Legalize Ferrets is simple – to legalize ferrets.
Since our beginning in 2005 we’ve learned there is tremendous support for ferret legalization, but California ferret owners are fearful, reluctant to get involved and hoping other people will take the risks and pay the costs.
 Even so – our grassroots email list has grown to nearly 4000 people. Every week we publish an email newsletter called CLIFFNotes. CLIFFNotes has been very valuable in keeping people informed and involved with legalization and other ferret issues. It has brought those interested in ferrets together. Stories are shared and bonds have been formed.
It has also allowed us to determine the best policy towards legalization. We are very excited about our upcoming Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
Previous ferret legalization efforts rejected the idea of an EIR as to expensive and out of our reach. But coming together we found we could afford it and we have a consultant ready to go (you can listen to him at www.ferretsanon.com)
How Can You Help?
If you aren’t a member of the 3000 Club please join. The 3000 Club was formed as a way to measure how many people would commit to this effort. While the original goal was to collect signatures for a ballot initiative – we still need people to do grass roots actions such as letter writing.

Interesting Note:
According to the leading pet industry lobby Californians buy 27% of the ferret supplies sold in the country.
Ferret magazines have often reported that California is #1 for subscriptions and Petco has reported they sell millions of dollars in ferret supplies in California every year.
Legalizing ferrets makes good business sense!
