In MA, you can't have a pet that is wild, or within X number generations of wild. Ferrets and I think snakes are not legal pets, as well as things like alligators and tigers and bears.

Wait, I know people in MA with or who've had Ferrets (and not just Victor and Thessaly), and I've also seen people walking around in public with pythons draped around them. Is the law just not being enforced very strongly (or at all)?

Can't remember what it was, does anyone have a clue?

Deer? Cause all over NZ they have deer farms and I kept thinking, "Are they really domesticated?"

What would these labels say? "Object is not immune to the laws of physics"?

Oh please, oh please. That's a warning label I'd never peel off.

I tried to take a picture up on the cliff of Monserrat in Spain of this sketchy little cliffside trail. There was a weathered sign warning PELIGRO! lying about 10 ft down on a outcropping. Obviously, it had fallen down. And no one cared.

The contrast between that and the near-psychotic level of rails and warnings you see in major national parks here really struck me.

Ooh, so Victor and Thessaly have outlaw ferrets? In retrospect, it all makes so much more sense.

Also, I don't understand why anyone would wear that Greece shirt, because it's just an invitation for trouble.

I think you just answered your own question.

Back when I lived in the wilds of Southwest Pennsylvania, my church group went to the Pittsburgh Zoo and stared in confusion at the white tail deer display. "Deer? In a zoo?" "There was one in my back yard this morning." "Yeah, and I nearly hit one last night."

Country kids in the big city = big fun.

ACME needs to use this warning on its products - at least to the stuff it sells to coyotes.

On the bright side, his appetite has become much more healthy. He ate more at dinner last night than he had in quite some time (and kept it down -- a concern when coming off anesthesia). And begged some fish from our dinner.

If he had lesions in his mouth, that probably had a lot to do with the lack of appetite. Glad he's doing better.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "domesticated" is.

I love that! It was also really striking to me when we were in Grand Staircase-Escalante, how Disneyfied the parks are. It GSE, you can go anywhere, flood plains, slot canyons whatever. you're on your own. Which I admire.

Go BLM/national monument land.
