I'm not a ferret, I'm a bunny.

OK, you have finally found something Rudy did that I agree with!

Can you imagine what would happen after you got weasels running loose in the city? Could they cross bread with the 20 lb Norway rats that infest the city? Could they swim for miles up sewer pipes and bite you in the butt on your own toilet?

No thanks!

It's about Rudy, in a fashion befitting a dictator, outlawing ferrets just because he doesn't like them.

That's the critical factor here.

Councilman Noach Dear, an Orthodox Jew and Democrat from Brooklyn, said he could not vote in favor of the legalization of ferrets as pets for a simple reason: he was reminded by his rabbi that they are not kosher.

As I recall from my reading of Leviticus, beasts of the land are kosher if, and only if they have cloven hooves and chew the cud. This makes dogs, cats and bunnies all unclean, doesn't it? Does an animal being unclean prohibit an observant Jew from keeping it as a pet?

Rudy opposed legalizing ferrets. He wanted to be the boss weasel in NY.

Ferret don't run loose, and they are rats' natural enemies.

They eat rats, lot of them.

I think that many of us have all but conceded that Rudy will not get the pro-ferret vote.

"I have no idea what the hell this is about."

It shows to what degree he wants to micromanage people's lives. If he is this passionate about banning ferrets, how will he feel about that AR in your closet?

Does this mean Hillary is kosher?
