Hey folks- i was looking up legality of owning skunks for someone and I was goign thru all these site- well on one it states: http://www.bornfreeusa.org/b4a2_exotic_animals_ords.php "Chicago -- No person shall sell or give to another person, harbor, or keep wild animals within city limits. "Wild animals" includes but is not limited to: non-domesticated canines, non-domesticated felines, bears, bats, non-human primates, squirrels, all fur bearing mammals of the family Mustelidae, all animals from the family Procyonidae, all carnivorous mammals from the family Viverridae, dangerous reptiles, large rodents, etc. " Well I would take that to mean ferrets are illegal in the city of Chicago since they are a fur bearing member of the Mustelidae family- Can anyone let me know if the info is wrong or clarify it - I'm sure we all dont want some anti-ferret nut getting into office & deciding to enforce this if that is what it means if it is a law on the books- which if it is maybe it should be modifed to protect everyone's fuzzies- Thanks!
