Unfortunately, ferrets are not included as of yet. What Safe-Harbor does not take into account that California ferrets are illegal to have. Therefore, California does not protect the animal. Maybe we need to make Ebay's Safe-harbor aware of that and more consistent with the rest of the nation. Quoting the Animal Safety & Humane Control Society, Inc. "It is the law in the state of Illinois that each owner of an animal must provide: Sufficient quantity of good QUALITY FOOD AND WATER. Adequate SHELTER and protection from the weather. VETERINARY CARE when needed to prevent suffering. HUMANE CARE and treatment." Margaret [Posted in FML issue 3512]
