The idea domesticated ferrets would escape, breed, and threaten wildlife if one of the most hilarious concepts I've ever seen, starting with the fact that getting a ferret that isn't already spayed or neutered is basically impossible, and ending with the fact that domestic ferrets tend to get fat, are lazy, and especially in the case of one of my previous ferrets, remarkably dumb.
Of a dozen ferrets I've had in my life, I can think of one that might be able to find and capture food well enough to survive on his own. And he couldn't reproduce.
It's absolutely shocking to me still that California has this weird villainous perception of these basically elongated rabbits.

- tzs 4y agoFerrets specifically released in large quantity over many years to breed in the wild and threaten wildlife, which is the case in New Zealand (they were trying to get rid of the rabbits), is hardly comparable to pet ferrets which are mostly incapable of breeding and which usually don't survive long if they do get into the wild.
