Sarah Sevick, a 19 year-old student at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, TX has filed an Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) complaint against the school because it won’t let her keep her pet ferret at her dormitory or take it with her to classes.
Sarah claims that she needs the ferret to calm her during panic attacks and claims that she has been diagnosed with psychiatric problems.
You think?
Look, kid, move out of the dorms and get an apartment — you can keep your rat there with no hassles. As far as taking it to class with you? You better get used to a life without your rat constantly by your side. First of all, unless you go to work at a pet store, the number of jobs that are going to allow you to bring your rat to work with you after you graduate are zero. Secondly, speaking as a guy, you’re going to scare alot of prospective suitors away with your obsession for keeping your rat with/on you at all times. Even if you find a guy who does like ferrets, how happy is he going to be playing second fiddle to your rat all the time…how difficult does having an attached-ferret make dating? I’m guessing very.
My advise? Lose the rat. If you truly do need a pet in addition to all the medication you take for depression and anxiety…at least get a dog.

don’t quit yer day job fucko….
you are one stupid schmuck
Right on, Robbie. The answer for this young “lady” is more (and more intense) psychiatric treatment, not a portable rat. Besides, isn’t the grasshopper supposed to be your conscience?
Oh, and “You Are” (stupid name for some stupid comments?) why are you cursing at Robbie for his compassionate commentary? I don’t understand how you can be so harsh about a woman that clearly needs REALISTIC help and not more coddling. It will certainly be better for ferret-girl to adapt to the real world than to get the world to adapt to her. It is literally impossible to warp the world into each individual’s disability.
Ah, you can always pick a ferret owner out of a crowd, can’t you? Seems that “psychiatric problems” might be a condition common amongst ferret owners. Which begs the question: Do people buy ferrets because they’re crazy, or does owning a ferret cause you to go crazy?
I’d tell you not to quit your day job either, YouAre….but if your emotional welfare is dependant on a rat, well…you’re probably not employed anyway.
Ferrets are actually pretty cool. But if she gets to bring hers to class, I’m going to start bringing my hermit crabs.
Austin may be weird but San Antonio may be trying to take the title…lol
If she’s living in a dorm then she obviously is not from San Antonio you nimwit. She is probably from Austin.
Ferret’s aren’t rats, they are relatives of the weasel.
anxiety and depression treatment…
