Hello. I recently moved to Dallas, leaving my ferrets behind for the moment
because of the legal situation. I really miss not having them with me. :(
Illinois is really great, only requiring the free permit. I will probably
eventually bring them down here, but I don't like the idea of having to sneak
around, and I'm scared to death of having them taken away. I've seen posts
from other anons in the Dallas area, and I was wondering what are possible
consequences of being found with ferrets in the area. Just a slap on the
wrist and a fine, or are the regulations more along the lines of California's?
When I called some Humane Societies/Animal Control places in the area, most
didn't even know what a ferret was! (There were a few helpful exceptions, but
I can't remember which place) Also, I'd be interested in joining/starting a
legalization-awareness effort in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Plano area. Does anyone
know of such a campaign?
And...this month's issue of Life magazine is dedicated to endangered species.
There is a full-page picture of our friend, the black-footed ferret. I haven't
bought it yet, so I don't know what kind of article accompanies it. I only
browsed in the checkout line, but it looks promising. One of the morning
news/talk shows (CBS) did a segment on the magazine's special. Last year I
found a neat storybook, casette, and stuffed animal set put out by the
Smithsonian Inst. about the black-footed ferret. "Wild and Free".
