Hi there,
 
I have been talking with someone in the upper Illinois area about the
requirement of permits in Illinois.  Apparently a lot of people in Illinois
don't realize that permits are required for ferrets here.  So let me clarify
for all: THEY ARE REQUIRED!!!!  Plus, THEY ARE FREE!!  (For owning ferrets
only, not breeding.  Breeding is different.)
 
Here is the information I sent this other person.  (BIG, I hope this is all
right.)
 
The permits are available through:
 
Illinois Department of Conservation
Wild Game/Game Bird Breeder Permit
524 South Second, Room 210
P.O. Box 19458
Springfield, IL  62794-9458
 
Phone #: 217-785-3423
 
I hope this clears up any miss understandings about the requirement of
permits.  If you have any questions, let me know.
