Police: Man Killed Emotional Support Ferrets​


A Minnesota man charged with killing his roommate’s emotional support ferrets told police that he shot the caged animals with a BB gun because they “smell like shit” and claimed that one of the ferrets was laughing at him.

Police responded Tuesday to a 911 call placed by Maurice Guski, 57, who reported that his four pet ferrets were missing. Upon arriving at the Duluth apartment, officers noted finding “blood drops on the stairs and walls of the entryway.”

Guski told police that he shared the residence with Levi Arneberg, 27, who had threatened to harm one of the ferrets the prior evening. Guski said Arneberg held a kitchen knife in his hand and said, “It would be bad if one of them were hurt. Get the fuck out!”

Arneberg was arrested on four misdemeanor animal cruelty counts, each of which carries a maximum penalty of a year behind bars. He is being held in the St. Louis County jail in lieu of $20,000 bail, which represents “$5000 for each deceased ferret,” according to a court filing by prosecutors.
