I am the President of LIFE.  I am sure my counterpart for the AFA will
also respond for that organization.

No.  We do however, as I have stated previously, LIFE does request that
their judges use discretion in which non-LIFE sanctioned shows they judge
for, taking into account the reputation of the sponsoring organization, as
well as what types of sanitary proceedures will be followed.  LIFE
standards may not be used at non-LIFE sanctioned events without prior
written permission.

>   Is this true?
 
Absolutely not, but again, we strongly urge people to use the same
judgement that we urge our judges to use, especially in regards to
sanitation, vet check, and the handling of your ferrets.
