This is the only list I have found that show where ferrets are not legal in PAa. Here is the link for Ferret Free Zone that I got the info from: http://home.netcom.com/~redshoes/ffztable.html. It also tells you about other states. Municipality State Country Legal Permit Fee Shots? 10-Day Updated URL Comments Allentown PA USA N 6/29/97 Bethlehem PA USA N 6/29/97 Erie PA USA N 8/8/98 Enforced when complaint is filed. Hazleton PA USA N 7/10/99 If she is going by the fact that ferrets are classified as exotic animals in some places, here is the definition of an exotic animal per the Pennsylvania State Laws Governing Private Possession of Exotic Animals (34 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. §2961) "Exotic wildlife." The phrase includes, but is not limited to, all bears, coyotes, lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, cougars, wolves and any crossbreed of these animals which have similar characteristics in appearance or features. The definition is applicable whether or not the birds or animals were bred or reared in captivity or imported from another state or nation. Here is a case in PA in 1993, that shows shortly around 1993, PA stopped requiring a license. http://www.animallaw.info/cases/causfd828fsupp1168.htm#B00991993153704 Was not able to dig up the statute online though that shows it was repealed. But it does reference it in the article if you would like to do further investigating. Hope this information helps. In addition, you can contact a PA ferret shelter and they should be able to help you as well. Angela, Lacey & Pokey (the ferrets) [Posted in FML 6732]
