From Pet Product News, January 1996
 
PIJAC state coordinator Micheal Twain is a member of the Wildlife Intergrity
Task Group, which was formed due to increased concern about introduction of
non-native species to the state.  A draft proposal from the group is
expected to contain new ways to classify "exotics" as low-, moderate-, and
high-risk species.  These classifications would affect permit requirements.
 
==============================
 
Though permits may not be required now for ferrets in Oregon, the above
information might just make some changes.  Oregon people, please research
this information - hopefully your local Animal Control or wildlife park/zoo
might have more info.  Please let STAR* know what you find out.
