What states in the US are ferrets legal?

In the United States, ferrets are illegal in California and Hawaii, and in New York City, New York. The reason ferrets are illegal in some states or cities in the U S - government officials claim that if ferrets are released into the wild, they will establish feral colonies, and prey upon native species. They often cite the problems in New Zealand and Australia with ferrets in the wild preying upon native species causing them to become close to extinction. These ferrets were hybrids between polecats and ferrets mating, that enabled them to survive in the wild. The fact is that domesticated ferrets cannot live on their own in the wild for more than a few days, they have lost any natural instinct to survive on their own, and the ferrets purchased from a pet store are already neutered.
