The four members of the NYC Board of Health will vote whether to make
ferrets officially illegal in NYC in just one week.  It is important that
they hear from as many ferret supporters as possible.  Be polite, but firm
that you object to any attempt to make ferret owners criminals.  You don't
have to live in NYC to make your opinion heard.
