Well, I really don't know much about ferrets are their lifestyles so I really can't say if they should or should not be banned. Sorry I couldn't shed any light on the subject.  |

Ferrets are okay little beasts. My daughter and her fiance have one and they are okay as pets. More high energy in my opinion and I prefer dogs and cats.  |

MY parents had a pair of them. Jasper and Juno! lol They got rid of them because of m being born. Cause if they smell milk on the babys mouth, they wil get into there mouth for the milk, which can suffocate the baby  |

I don't think they should be illegal-- the time I have spent with ferrets they seemed fine-- They weren't mean at all...  |

i see no problem ferrets. actually, i love the lil things. i've never heard anyone voice the concern about them getting out and destroying the habitat. but if it truely is a problem, then the focus should be on the irresponsible owners who either let them go or do not keep them securely in their home; it's the owner's responsibility. and i just can't believe that they are capable of killing babies. so, to answer your question, no, i don't think they should be banned. luv-  |

It isnt right for ferrets to be illegal! 1: they cant survive in the wild to "make colonies" 2: they kill mice and small animals, and probablly not babies. If ur woried bout that, keep ur ferrets away from the baby. I love my ferrets, and the only thing they try to hurt is my bird, but thats instinct. FERRETS ARE COOL! lol im done  |

In My state, Utah, they are legal everywhere but Utah County. Dont ask me why, but all the other counties can have ferrets, but not Utah county. We have a lot of people from California come and buy ferrets at my work. They sell ferret supplies at the pet stores in Cali, but just not the ferrets. Ive heard the stories of them killing children, but it was mostly handler error. I've never heard the "milk in the babies mouth" story, but I guess anything is possible. The stories I've heard is that a ferret will crawl in the crib, the child will move, and the ferret thinks its playing and will knaw off digits, thus the end of the childs life... Anything like that ever being proven to me has still not happened. I like ferrets. I see all of them, and yes, a ferret can be the meanest little animal you have ever seen, but at the opposite end of the spectrum, they can be the biggest marshmallows that wouldn't hurt a soul. The thing Ive heard is that the authorities dont like ferrets because owners who dont want them anymore let them loose in the wild and they breed and run amuck. All the ferrets we get at my work have alredy been spayed or neutered and have been decented. They are wonderful animals if raised right. Just like dogs and cats. Dogs can kill, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the dog is mean. I like them, they should be legal, but under the right owners/circimstances... Love ya tonz  |

Yeah as long as you don't put them up your trousers! In England putting ferrets in your trousers is a sport. The longer you keep them up there the better. I don't need to tell you what the dangers are. 8¬D  |

No! if you take care of your ferret right and give them plenty of space in their cage, keep it clean, and make sure the ferrets are happy then thats NOT going to happen and if people don't protect their baby from their ferret and their ferret from their baby or take care of their ferret then the pet should be taken away its like that with the baby too so why not with the ferret so isay they be legal as long as they are taken care of there will be no problems/  |

That sounds ridiculous, any pet can be dangerous, regardless of what it is. It all depends on the owner.  |
