Original Commentary

Why pet importing? Because I wanted something illegal, but not immoral. There's regulations and paperwork involved, but it's not so complex that I'd have to really explain it.

Modern Commentary
It's illegal to own a ferret or a hedgehog here in California.

Folks have been trying to change those laws for decades, with no success.

Mind you, I'm sure there are a lot of pet hedgehogs and pet ferrets here without too much trouble. But I wouldn't want to be in that particular business here- Terrence
