I being one that lives here in Chicago, think it's BS about this proposed ordinance. Vicki faxed me the ordinance and I can see that apes, chimpanzees etc are dangerous to have around. They even mention animals like Elephants and others.. Personally I see it to be a bunch of uneducated people (Uneducated about ferrets anyways) that are putting together this Ordinance. In the orignal newspaper article I can understand the other things that they mention as far as ordinances go; lowering the speed limit etc. I don't think its fair that now they are trying to pull off banning such wonderful animals. I would hate to start keeping my kids indoors and not taking them on walks or to the grocery store with me etc. I would hate to start living like those in California who do illegally have ferrets.... This is just a bummer *sigh* [Posted in FML issue 4214]
