One Week to Go

It is stress time here at LegalizeFerrets.org.

The tentative ruling on our court case is coming. The court is considering our writ of mandate asking it to require the Fish and Game Commission to actually process Petition 2025-003 — and the underlying request to research whether domestic ferrets are actually wild animals, as they have long been classified in California.

(My brain hurts just typing that out.)

I also have to file a Notice of Errata with the court because we used the wrong reference in our response to the demurrer — technically, an AI hallucination. And I have yet to hear back from our paralegal about filing it.

If we don't hear from her, I'll file it myself on Friday.

And Deva is missing — or Facebook Messenger likely screwed up — so I don't have her artwork this week. That means we're using an AI-generated version of Joe Ferret.

I know people like having a human-drawn illustration, at least once in a while, so sorry!

Next Friday's email will be delayed.

We should have an answer by then.

I will either be popping champagne (I don't even like champagne) or breaking open a box of tissues.

Actually, after doing some research, we will still have options even if we get the worst-case scenario next week. Those will be discussed in Sunday's CLIFFNotes.
