Joe Ferret holds the Golden Ticket — Petition 2025-003 has been accepted! Now the real journey begins toward ferret freedom in California. 🌀🎫🐾

🎫 Joe Ferret Got the Golden Ticket! 🎫
Our petition to legalize ferrets in California has been officially accepted by the Fish and Game Commission — and that’s a huge first step!

This is our Golden Ticket moment. Next up: the Commission decides whether to grant the petition further consideration — and we believe they will. Why? Because frankly, it’s the easier move for them. Here’s why:

  1. They’ve already opened the door — rejecting it now would seem arbitrary.

  2. It looks better politically — granting more time makes them seem fair and transparent.

  3. It gives them cover — they can say they’re “just studying” the issue.

  4. Rejecting it would attract scrutiny — especially with public comments and expert support rolling in.

But once we reach that next stage, brace yourself — the opposition will come out swinging. “Environmentalists” with no facts and a lot of fear will flood the Commission with baseless claims.

That’s why your $5 today matters more than ever. Joe Ferret may have the ticket — but we need to rally for Round 2.
