quicko: no hamsters

It seems that in Australia not only are you not allowed to own a turtle, they have also gone to the extreme of making the fuzzy, furry little fluffballs of hamsters contraband. What will they do away with next? Small children?

At first I thought this sounded ridiculous, but that was while I was labouring under the misapprehension that a hamster was the same thing as a guinea pig. Apparently it's a totally different kind of fuzzball, and yes, importing hamsters is illegal. Same goes for gerbils, whatever they are.

It seems after we spent billions of dollars trying to exterminate feral rabbits which decimated the farming industry, we learned our lesson.
