Pat Wright holds Bailey, one of his three pet ferrets, at his home, in La Mesa, California August 17, 2015. On Monday, Wright was anxiously preparing what he admits may be a quixotic campaign to legitimize his pet ferrets Tiger, Bailey and Jethro after a decision on Friday by state officials in Sacramento to allow him to gather signatures to place a referendum on the ballot making it legal to own and import ferrets. California's law banning ferrets dates back to the 1930s, remaining in place for reasons including safety (they bite), sanitation (they are hard to house-train) and concern that they will breed in the wild and become invasive.
