No one has kept an up-to-date FFZ list that I know of in at least a decade (probably more). Katie Fritz (NOT Kathy Fritz) kept one back then from her "red shoes" address. A number of places which had outlawed ferrets stopped doing so the more was learned. NYC (New York City) still outlaws them but they are legal in most of New York State. I think that Washington DC still outlaws them but heard something a while back saying that might change though I never heard that it actually had changed. I think that St. Paul still does not allow them. The last I heard they are legal in Salt Lake County but Salt Lake City considers them to be agricultural animals so does not allow them for that reason (which seems to be something that people in other parts of Utah could tackle for changing. Hawaii does not allow them. Puerto Rico and a number of other non-state locations do not allow them (though if memory serves St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands does), and the last time I spoke with any officials in PR -- on a different topic since I was following up how locations reacted to the CDC rabies work which wound up in ferrets' favor since they did not have long hidden infections and had minimal shedding results -- there were worries there that they would behave like the mongoose. Those are not even in the same family of Carnivora. Mongoose species are viverreds and descended from the cat brancn while ferrets are mustelids and descended from the dog branch. Check the American Ferret Association to see if they have kept an updated list, but as far as I know there simply is not one.

(2010, Steve Crandall) [Moderator's note: There's a difference between places like Hawaii or California where the law is enforced, compared to places like NYC where really nobody cares. Not that I recommend breaking the law, but in NYC when you're stopped by the police for having a ferret it's because they want to give it scritches. BIG] [Posted in FML 6818]
