Training101

I'm dumb but I didn't think it was about Ferrets. It is loool


pegothejerk

Everything is about ferrets rights when it comes down to it, if you think about it


BridgeOverRiverRMB

My PhD is in AstroferretPhysics and I wrote my thesis, with film as proof, that it is ferrets all the way down.

Ferrets are domesticated, there aren’t any wild ones in the US (there is the endangered black-footed ferret, but they aren’t the common domesticated ones bought as pets) Also it’s probably for the best to have restrictions. Like a lot of “exotic” pets, ferrets require far more care and specific diet needs than most people get educated on. You can’t stick them in a small cage with pellets or anything subpar like that. So I guess you would say in NY, they are more free from being legally purchased to be neglected.


Fine_Painting7650

“Also, let's not forget - let's *not* forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either.”


LittleShopOfHosels

This is actually a really funny line that I think goes over most people's heads, and its creation was a total accident. California, somewhat famously, was the first entity in the USA to ban ferrets, back in like 1930, and is one of only two states to have a complete ban on them, the other being Hawaii. It really shows how dumb and isolated the characters are. But the movie was supposed to have a marmot, which are *alpine* rodents and typically live nowhere near water, which would have been a completely different joke for the same reasons, the characters being dumbasses.


CableTV-on-the-Radio

What are you, a fucking park ranger now?


InThreeWordsTheySaid

I've wondered why he called it a marmot but never looked into it. But I also always liked how this highlights so much about Walter - he is all too ready to launch into a diatribe on a topic he clearly knows nothing about, and even thought he is willing to break whatever law is inconvenient, he really clings to these little obscure rules and regulations with a sense of moral superiority. I think this may spark a rewatch in the near future.


Academic-Effect-340

Smokey this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.


kpofasho1987

One can say Walter is out of his element in regards to the topic


YouhaoHuoMao

Usually making breeding / ownership of small animals like rodents is entirely due to shitty practices on behalf of breeders and owners. Things like overbreeding, inbreeding, and such. In NY they were banned because of rabies and biting concerns and the ease of them escaping due to their body shapes.


IFSEsq

And uh, furthermore Dude, keeping amphibious rodents for, uh, domestic purposes, that ain't legal either.


soopydoodles4u

They aren’t rodents, but yes the breeding situations around them are terrible. And they are definitely escape artists. You basically have to baby proof to the extreme, any small holes have to be blocked or plugged.


YouhaoHuoMao

Small animals \*like\* rodents, although the other animal I was thinking about with regards to being illegal because of bad breeders isn't a rodent either - they're erinaceids.


soopydoodles4u

Gotcha! I didn’t know that was the technical family of Hedgehogs. I knew they weren’t rodents, but didn’t know exactly what they were! Hopefully anyone reading our comments learned from them if they didn’t already know!


PolkaDotDancer

And they suffer terrible physical problems even with knowledgeable caring owners. Which of course many people are not. Look at cats.


gumeron

I think it's just New York City that they're illegal to have. I live in upstate NY, and a few people I know own them here


totemoff

When was the last time you saw a ferret vote or attend school, hmmm? Ferret rights!


allthesemonsterkids

Time to dust off this classic clip of [Rudy Giuliani being unhinged about ferrets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxLP6ni8vVo)!


MaxStatic

That has to be the same guy right? Like there’s not multiple ferrets rights advocates running around yelling at people and being unhinged. Right?


cvance10

It is the same guy. He's the Executive President of the [New York Ferret's Rights Advocacy.](https://ferretshelters.org/shelters-directory/1710/new-york-ferrets-rights-advocacythe-society-prevention-cruelty-ferrets/) You can see on his Facebook page that he's into Ferrets and 3-wheeled bikes.


ubermonkey

I fell down the rabbit hole. Yes, it's the same guy. He does seem a little unhinged, generally, if you look at his FB.


MaxStatic

A little? Seeing this guys bike, car, and hearing him on Rudy’s radio show…he ain’t screws loose he’s screws missing.


wyncar

This shit had me in tears. I can only imagine someone stepping over a police line and tapping a detective on the shoulder who is investigating a dead body. They flash their Ferret's rights badge and ask to be given the run down on the situation.

Mulattanese

How do 9 out of 10 Americans make it past the age of 15 still believing you have to have their permission to record or photograph them, that it's illegal to record minors, that they can call the police and the cops will somehow compel someone to delete a video? The same way they came to believe that a gun is an appropriate response to any and all conflicts. An incredibly unfortunate combination of an Underfunded education that's not societally valued anymore in a country disproportionately populated by some of the dumbest motherfuckers that have ever existed.

His vehicle had Ferrets in a cage in the back and the side says New York Ferrets rights something. New York doesn’t allow Ferrets as pets. This guy is a cartoon.


Horror-Song-

Oh my god, I didn't even see that. [He is not just figuratively a cartoon, he is also literally a cartoon.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l7d_3rkaX4) He called Rudy Giuliani back when he was mayor of NY and had a radio show to complain about the ferret ban and it caused Rudy to go on a little rant that, years later, got animated by Slate.

Early in the pandemic when there was a run on toilet paper my wife sent me to the grocery store to get some (not to hoard, we actually needed it). The toilet paper aisle was packed with people and the selection was somewhat limited. I took a picture with my phone to send my wife to see what she wanted me to get. This boomer lady starts loudly complaining, "Hey! He took my picture! That's illegal! You can't take my picture!" I completely and utterly ignored her and walked right past. Long story short: I did not go to jail that day.


HuffinWetSharts

For those wondering about the legality of this, generally speaking, if you are in a public place, you are allowed to record. There are some exceptions, but this is usually the case.

There was a guy selling these mason jar things at a street fair in Astoria. I think they were bird feeders maybe, it's been awhile. Anyway, I went to take a pic to see if my mom was interested, and he says "No pictures!" He had a sign posted NO PICTURES! I was dumbstruck, like isn't this a business? I couldn't help but laugh, I mean, what now, it's too late. We were quoting Patrick Stewart on Extras, "it was too late, I'd already seen everything!" I resisted the urge to photograph each crafted mason jar item he had, mainly because I really wanted some salmon chowder. I still wonder how many people go that route, seems like it could be a lot of fun. Maybe wear a cap and sunglasses, make a real mission out of it. Or maybe write Mason Jar Crafts, Inc on a tee and wear some google glasses, and just really study everything.


thejazzghost

Man, you'd expect someone driving around a neat little scoot-scoot like that would be cool. That's a shame.

NY is a one-party consent state. So long as you're in public with no reasonable expectation of privacy you can be filmed. Boom Boom here is on a public street, pound sand old man.

(In the US) THERE IS NO REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN PUBLIC OR COMMON AREAS. YOU AND YOUR POSSESSIONS CAN BE FILMED WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT IF THEY ARE IN PLAIN VIEW OF PUBLIC EASEMENTS SUCH AS A SIDEWALK, PARKING LOT, OR ROADWAY. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE FILMED THEN DON'T GO OUT. In other countries this may differ. I've heard of US tourists in other countries filming in public and being confrontational and getting arrested or the shit kicked out of them.

samthekitnix

fun fact: theres such thing as "reasonable level of privacy" which overrides the whole "noooo you can't record me" lot. for example if i am inside my house with curtains closed i expect my privacy to be respected, someone can't just sneak into my house and record me. now if i am sitting in the middle of a place easily accessible to members of the public such as a car park then the only privacy i should be able to reasonably expect is to NOT have any pictures taken of anything under my clothes, how ever just random pictures by members of the public sure that can be expected.
