Hi all. I was contacted today by a woman named Lisa Acho from the Michigan Humane Society. She told me that she checked with a supervisor and yes, ferrets are legal in Detroit. Apparently, Animal Control had been giving conflicting reports, so perhaps Mary (the original poster) was given incorrect information by them. Animal Control said that ferrets are legal but they don't personally adopt them out. All the info that Dee from the GLFA gathered also said that ferrets are legal in Detroit. So, according to the Humane Society and Detroit Animal Control, they are legal and Detroit ferret owners can rest easy. [Posted in FML issue 3405]
