The laws for not having rabbits and ferrets was all good a few years ago because there was reason for it, but there is no reason these days. The valid reason was?? Given that there are NO WILD FERRET POPULATIONS then it is completly absurd that an escaped ferret will form a breeding population. Ferrets are a completely domestic animal, which are 100% dependant on humans. A ferret released into the wild will barely survive for a week. They are bad hunters, they will generally starve themselves to death rather than change diet, they cant find water. As you are about to look it up on the web, take note that the wild ferret populations reported in europe and NZ are "Black Footed Ferrets" Which is not actually a ferret, it is a completely different species. The reason was something to do with a strain of virus that could be only carried such animals as the rabbit, ferret and a few others. This virus causing native Australian birds to die or something along those lines. The rabbit and ferret laws are both because of the risk of feral populations. The probablity that a disease can be transferred between rabbits and ferrets is low, given that rodents and carivores (Note: Ferrets are Carnivores, not rodents) have completely different immune system. In fact the Ferrets immune system is much closer to a humans (they can (and do) catch most human diseases, flu etc). All the reasons for the queensland ban are caused by ignorance and do gooder greenies (who happen to be ignorant as well, as ferret pose no risk to wild populations!) [Report message to a moderator]
