In reference to the question about leaving California with pets . . . The man in charge of the legal immigration of pet ferrets from the state is Bill Phillips. He is an attorney who has been involved in the attempts to correct the_Ca. Fish & Grime's unconstitutional stand on ferrets. Bill also founded_the Ca. Domestic Ferret Association (CDFA) and has an excellent handbook concerning ferrets, available for $25. Anyway, give him_a call at 707-431-2277 (his office) and ask about the borders surrounding California. Good luck. Chip gallo Montgomery Ferret Club [Posted in FML 0081]
