I have received no such order.  And know of no authority of the AFA to make
such an order.  Our attendance will only depend upon whether we are on the
East coast where we an attend or further west from where we can not.
 
But the hysteria is getting ridiculous.  he Hertzogs have tested their
ferrets for ADV antibodies (you don't test for the virus itself as I
understand it) All of those screaming against them have NOT tested their
ferrets.  Whose ferrets should I trust to be more likely to be free from
the disease?
 
Far too many in the "ferret show" community are more interested in trashing
anyone that could conceiveably considered competition be it in the ring or
by not 'sanctioning' wit hthe correct organization.  That ill behavior is
seen from ALL group affiliations!  Shame on them!
