Joe Ferret has been doing a little detective work lately.

For nearly a century California has insisted that ferrets are dangerous. So Joe asked a simple question:

Where is the evidence?

He opened the official file cabinet.

Top drawer… nothing.
Bottom drawer… nothing.

So Joe filed a Public Records Act request asking the Department of Fish and Wildlife for the studies, analyses, and environmental reviews connected to Petition 2025-003.

If those records exist, the law says they should be public.

If they don’t… well, that tells a story too.

Meanwhile the clock keeps ticking. The law required the Fish and Game Commission to issue a written decision on the petition months ago, but Joe is still waiting.

Fortunately Joe is patient.

And he has a date circled on his calendar.
