Whew. Sorry for shouting in the subject line <g>.
I'm absolutely livid over this -- I just learned that my local humane
society animal shelter (Lincoln, NE) does NOT adopt out ferrets. They just
euthanize them if their owners don't reclaim them. I called the shelter and
was given a real line of **BS** about not knowing if they'd been exposed to
rabies and not knowing whether or not they'd been altered -- oh, yeah, and
she also told me they were "classified as a wild animal that had been
domesticated," and might be *dangerous*! I couldn't get in touch with
either the director or the assistant director, so I still haven't talked to
either of them, but I sure plan to.
I really need to know what the quarantine time is for rabies in ferrets from
someone with nifty-sounding credentials. Has it been definitively
established? If not, what's a reasonable period of time?
Anyone have similar experiences with the animal shelters in their areas?
Any advice?????
Thanks.

How many analytic philosophers does it take to change a light bulb? None --
it's a pseudo problem. Light bulbs give off *light* (hence the name). If
the bulb were broken and wasn't giving off light, it wouldn't be a
*light*bulb, now would it? (Oh, where has the rigor gone??!?)
