Hello Ferret friends.
 
You can make a difference once again for ferrets in NH!  PLease contact
members of the NH Senate Committee - COmmerce
 
COMMITTEE: COMMERCE - 1/12/06, 11 a.m., Rm 302 LOB
Contact Contact information for the House Commerce
Committee is available at:

and URGE SUPPORT of HB 1440.  This bill is in the last stages YOU need to
be heard NOW.  AT 11 AM Thursday it will be on the floor of the Senate
committee.  PLease advocate in support of this bill via email.
 
This bill will provide if adopted - refunmds up to the purchase price
of the ferret ( cat or dog) for veterinary expenses by the pet stores!
 
The 20 day from date of purchase will likely cover exposure to viral
contagions (canine distemper) which take 18-21 days to manifest from time
of exposure.  We need this to protect purchasers for the ferret which was
purchased in good faith, to make breeders & distributors accountable for
the health of the animals(product), and to cut down on the need fo
shelters to take in anad make healthy young kits and their consumers who
should have been afforded the consideration of health and safe transport.
 
IF YOU ARE A NH resident - or have shopped in a NH pet store - please
email the senate members on the commerce committee RIGHT AWAY.
 
Thank you
 
Alicia D.
