Description :	Wrestler Takes On Gov. Schwarzenegger Over Ferrets (CBS13) SACRAMENTO Extra Info: California is one of two states where you cannot own, buy or sell a ferret. And each year Californians try to change the law. This year, as CBS13's Dennis Shanahan reports, there is a new 'famous' face fighting for ferrets. His name is 'Leatherface'. He's an actor, wrestler, and producer living in Sacramento. And now he's bringing national notoriety to the plight of the ferret here in California. "They're very calm. They're playful," Leatherface explained to CBS13, "They're very loving." The Sacramento man gently holding these furry ferrets is familiar to viewers of the MTV hit show "Viva la Bam" as a black-mask wearing wrestler named 'Leatherface." A character who is anything but loving and gentle. But he loves ferrets. And he's using his fame to bring high profile attention to the ongoing plight of these creatures in California. On his internet show, called "Off The Hook TV", Leatherface just launched a new episode hoping to raise awareness and get Governor Schwarzenegger's attention. "The state of California does not consider the ferret a domestic animal, and the Fish and Game Commission says they are not normally domesticated in this state, and therefore a hazard to public health, agriculture, and the environment," says the narrator on the "Off The Hook TV" ferret episode. Leatherface is then seen with his two ferrets and addressing Gov. Schwarzenegger says "Are these a threat to the environment? No. These aren't a threat. You're a threat to the environment 'cuz you're ignoring the people." Governor Schwarzenegger acted with ferrets in the movie, "Kindergarten Cop." But as governor, he has refused efforts to legalize the animals in the Golden State. But he's never been face to face with Leatherface, something the wrestler is hoping to change. "Yeah, we're thinkin' about doin' a rally there on the governor's front porch, right on the Capitol lawn," said Leatherface, 'Get off my lawn,' hopefully won't be the response we get." The governor had a bill on his desk in 2004 that would have legalized ferrets. He vetoed it, saying at the time that he loves the animals, but he wants there to be more study about their impact on the environment. (© MMVII, CBS Broadcasting Inc.

LEGALIZE FERRETS! Schwarzenegger of all people!

Legalize Ferrets! I own 2 and they are awesome!

LEGALIZE weed and ferrets!! Anyway does somebody that live in ca and has a ferret tell me where i can get one

That's indeed very interesting.

wtf? "The state of California does not consider the domestic ferret a domestic animal..." Contradicting yourself there a little bit, ain't cha?

New Zealand is a different issue. New Zealand has an issue with wild ferrets and hybrids. Not Domesticated ferrets which is the discussion here. Ferrets aren't know to live more than 7 days in the wild. Plus, they are alls spayed and neutered before they are even purchased. So, even if a few do escape, there is no threat of a breeding population. Isn't CA trying to solve their rabbit problem anyways? Gophers? Ground squirrels? Maybe CA should look into ferreting, not poisoning? IDK.

Californians can't have anything, can they. Well, except for a dozen demilitarized humvees. Nothing wrong with that. But keeping a small pet like a ferret somehow is a worse environmental impact than a Humvee? I don't think so. And despite what they say, ferrets are pretty common pets. They're only uncommon in California because they've been criminalized. But when ferrets are outlawed, only outlaws will have ferrets.

LOL FERRIT ADVOVATE

Legalize medical ferrets! Oh wait, you can't smoke them? nevermind.....
