加利福尼亚州正在审查其1933年禁止家禽雪貂的禁令,并援引了这一禁令没有科学依据。 California is reviewing its 1933 ban on domestic ferrets, citing no scientific basis for the prohibition.

1933年,加利福尼亚州在没有证据或公共投入的情况下颁布了近百年的国内雪貂禁令,在新获得的文件显示该禁令没有科学或行政依据之后,这项禁令正在接受正式审查。 California’s nearly century-old ban on domestic ferrets, enacted in 1933 without evidence or public input, is under formal review after newly obtained documents revealed no scientific or administrative basis for the prohibition. 2025年6月,渔业和狩猎委员会一致接受一份请愿书,要求重新考虑从被禁物种名单中除去雪貂的问题,这是进行科学评价的第一步。 In June 2025, the Fish and Game Commission unanimously accepted a petition to reconsider removing ferrets from the banned species list, marking the first step toward a science-based evaluation. 支持者认为禁令依赖于循环逻辑:被认为不是家禽,因为它们被禁止,被禁止,因为它们不是家禽. Advocates argue the ban relies on circular logic—ferrets are deemed non-domestic because they’re banned, and banned because they’re not domestic. 目前这项运动正在收集专家证词和公众支持,以促使法律承认雪貂为家畜。 The campaign is now gathering expert testimony and public support to push for legal recognition of ferrets as domestic animals.
