Court was on May 1, 2001, but I was in the hospital again so my lawyer expressed my concerns and plea. Instead of fighting the city, I plead guilty to unlawful storage of a vehicle in my driveway, and in the return, the city has given us 90 days to tear down Ferretland, reduce the number of ferrets in our house to 10, no more volunteers period, and all clients must make an appt. Now the plan is.....find a house to buy in 90 days that is agriculturally zoned and get the approval of the city council of that city, so that our webmaster can lease our house. Ferretland will not be torn down and we will continue to rescue ferrets from all over the country like we have been doing, only do it bigger and better than before. The city of Saudi Aurora can go on practicing their nazi tactics on someone else. After we relocate. our lawyer may consider suing the city for violating our civil and constitutional rights. It seems illegal for them to make and enforce a law that can tell you who and when some one cqan come into your house, and what youcan do in the privacy of your own back yard.(play with ferrets)We even asked the city if we kept the number of ferrets down to 10 if we could keep ferretland in the back yard for our own personal ferrets to play in and they said absolutely not. Isn't that like telling someone with twolegged kids they can't have a swingset in the backyard for the kids? My lawyer felt that the trial wouldn't help my health none at the time and now I can work on getting better so we start over again. There has been an outpouring of support from all over the world in the form of letters and offers to take ferrets. We have hardly any adoptable ferrets now. We will take up the offers of help in moving and yes there have even been a few monetary donations that are greatly appreciated. We are hoping that with all the media exposure, someone with big bucks will come through and help us through this. If not, we will continue to do this one step at a time. like we have done in the past.. Thank you all for your encouragement and support. Without you all, surely we would have been doomed. Hugs to all, Ferretguy [Posted in FML issue 3412]
