Hello All -
    Here is an interesting idea for a thread.  Kind of reminds me of the
story about the guy who was stopped for throwing pieces of paper around the
park:
        "Keeps the elephants away" he said.
        "But there aren't any elephants within a thousand miles of here !!"
was the reply.
        "Yes, it works, doesn't it !!"
 
    Or something like that.  It has been a LONG two days at the Pet Expo
getting signatures.  People are very excited about this passing.  If even
ten percent of the nearly two thousand people who said that they are will
call, are able to ......  well maybe we will get lucky.  Call your Mass Rep
and Senator.  Ask them to pass House Bill 295, the ferret bill.  We don't
care if it is ammended or not, just make ferrets legal.  Vote may be as
early as Noon, if they will just schedule it.
 
    Anyway, here is the post.  Anybody else know ??  Bob Church ???
