That picture Tim posted of the rat/chupucabra sitting on his desk, inspired me to uncover the following funny law.
In Port Coquitlam, British Columbia it is against the law to have more than four pet rats or other combination of rodents in one household. The penalty for breaking this law is a $2000 fine, six months in jail or both.
Now, personally I am all for the owning of rats, weasels, ferrets,and other pants wearing rodents, even though I don’t own any myself. I recently saw a picture of a blue/blond haired girl posing with her ferret.
I think she only owns one but what if she wanted to get a couple more and maybe a chupucabra or two or even some R.O.U.S.’s (rodents of unusual size), why should anyone tell her she’s not allowed. It’s better to keep rodents as pets than have them running around smoking in the alleys, drinking non-Blue Beaver Beer and causing crimes rates to increase. Everyone should own five or six weasels whether it’s the two-legged or four-legged variety.
