We are starting to have a severe problem with ferrets. Cute, cuddly, loveable little ferrets. They are illegal here. People buy them. Illegally. Kids buy them. Illegally. And when mom and dad tell kids "NO!" since you can't exactly turn an illegal animal over to the pound and since the pickup truck you bought it from is now long gone, idiot locals sort of just let them go.
Ferrets, in turn, do what they do. Invade chicken coops. Invade homes. They disrupt the local songbird nests, and have put several local species into endangered status. They spread disease like wildfire, and have been the cause of several rabies scares. Rabies, no matter the animal, is never funny.
And cats. No, not kitties, cute fluffy housecats. Big kitties. People round these parts have somehow taken to getting panthers and other big preditory animals when they are cute and cuddly and little. There is quite a market from what I understand. When they stop being little, they let them go. This is BAD, as you get a super preditor that is not afraid of humans and see people as a potential source of getting a meal... Or in the case of a 2 year old girl that was killed a few weeks ago, being a meal. The Carolina Panthers football team is an indirect cause of this... Idiot wives buy their idiot husbands a "Real Carolina Pantherâ¢" and these ignorant morons actually think they can keep these beasts as house pets. And being the ignorant trailer dwelling troglodyte dumbasses they are, when kitty gets to big, they throw it out of the house never once thinking of what it will do to the outside world.
Sadly, I have had to kill some of these magnificent beasts.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
