Ok...I love ferrets, and I have to admit like dogs and cats & lots of other animals some people mistreat & hurt them, some on purpose and other by accident. However that doesn't mean that a responsibl owner should not have the option to own a ferret or any other animal in thier home in DC, NYC, or CA. To say so seems to step on my freedoms and bother me. I can not believe in any way shape or form that a ferret fighter, owner, or lover said they did not want ferrets leagal in DC. That is like saying we don't want them in NYC. I think the DCHS either made that up or asked someone who is not really a ferret lover. Melissa P [Posted in FML issue 3128]
