i would like to make sugar gliders legal in California because they are very cute intelligent animals. at just 30 days old they have a very strong bond with there owners. i am starting this petition because i would like to have one as a pet, and i think they make great house pets.  so please help make them legal in California. I believe as a citizen of California, I should be able to own a sugar glider. Sugar gliders are a type of marsupial closely related to koala bears that live in Australia. Unlike flying squirrels, which it is sometimes confused with, sugar gliders don’t carry harmful diseases like rabies, and have a very complex diet. Sugar gliders make great companions and form very quick bonds with their owners, but must be kept in groups of at least 2.  If they escaped from a house hold, they would not be a threat to native species. for it is very different from Australia’s. We need the governor of California to see this, so we can make a change and solve this problem. I need your help to solve it.  Let’s try to get 100 signatures in the first month, and 1,000 by the third. I know if I have your support we can make sugar gliders legal.  I have done extensive research, and as far as I can tell, they pose no threat to society or the environment. If you agree with me, sign this petition and send a letter to Gavin Newsom himself, and show him we need this problem fixed.  I appreciate you taking your time to read and sign this petition. thank you
