Well, here's the story so far... As of Monday, August 16th, the statewide ban on ferrets in the state of utah has been lifted! :) we are still attempting to lift local bans in 2 counties, but we're making good progress! - today, One of our members went to a local fair, where the Dept Of Wildlife was handing out flyers - one of which was an "anti-ferret" flyer (The amendment had gone through, but it hadn't gotten down to all the different offices yet) and so we're currently tryng to get them to STOP distributing the flyers, as they no longer have any jurisdiction over ferrets.. well, it's slow going, but it's working.. Does anyone have any news from Bill Phillips in California? That's all for now, More to come! Matthew Ouimette President Utah Ferret Association p.s. - to all the folx recieving this on GEnie, especially Randy Sellers and F.Hoffman - Thank you! (I'm back! - you can reach me here, and I WILL be faxing the information on the Amendment to you by next week - when I recieve it.) The U.F.A. has now held 2 official meetings, and has begun to show some signs of resembling an actual organization! - we have had about 30 people attend, and are still attempting to fin a permanent meeting site that will allow ferrets.. Bye for now! M.O. [Posted in FML issue 0555]
