It broke my heart when I read that SB 89 was vetoed in California.  I
thought of all those people that had such high hopes of freedom for their
ferrets.  I can remember the fear I lived with when we didn't yet have
the quarantine for ferrets.  Any bite or scratch incident was a death
sentence for our ferrets if the incident was reported.  But not being
able to take my ferret out in public, to a vet or the store or anywhere
is just inconceivable.  Yet, 10 short years ago, Michigan was in the same
boat as California.  If not for the dedicated people that fought for the
freedom of our fuzzies we would be living in fear.
 
I ask you fellow Michiganders to join in our 10 year celebration of
freedom this year.  I ask you to join us to say THANK YOU to those that
