Arrested for Catching Mice?
From WorldNetDaily

A California law requires a trapping license in order to kill mice.

According to a recent article that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle the Animal Protection Institute of Sacramento pushed a bill, which stipulates that anyone who takes furbearing mammals or non-game animals

must purchase a trapping license by passing a complex test and paying a fee of $78.50. The Fish and Game Code 4005 defines non-game animals as including mice, rats, gophers and moles, the paper noted. However, Scott Paulsen, chief of law enforcement for the Department of Fish and Game (DFG), said the law would not be enforced for personal use. Nevertheless, he said the statute would be enforced for commercial use. That means if a citizen hires a gardener or pest control service to set traps at his house, they could face arrest without a permit.

Terry Knight of the Lake County Fish and Wildlife Committee said the DFG did not support the bill but it was promoted by the Animal Protection Institute.

"I can see the headlines now, 'Mice trappers face jail term,' " Knight said. "But if you get the permit, the real problem you're facing is that it takes too many mice to make a fur coat."
