> Don't feral cats and dogs also pose a threat to ecosystems? Yes, but that doesn't mean we should make it worse. > Why should the threat to endangered species necessarily outweigh the significant psychological benefits of pet ownership?

We're not gods, so we depend on the ecosystem working. > Couldn't feral ferrets from one of the many states where they are already legal easily make their way into California anyway? Maybe, but that doesn't mean we should make it worse.
