I wrote an article on ferret legislation for a reporting class. The focus is on whether ferret legislation is likely in Washington (it's not--take a deep breath). I also talked about how dangerous ferrets are compared w/dogs and cats; the legislation in CA and what it's based on; how ferret legislation "happens." It is a STUDENT article, so I cannot vouch for its eloquence, etc. If you want to publish it (some people said they might send it to their local paper), that's ducky, but *CONTACT ME FIRST.* I want to send it for review first. (Also, it's copyrighted, so you need my permission.) If you want a copy, though, send an SASE to Cindy Riskin at PO Box 31952, Seattle, WA 98103. If you helped me with the article, just email your mailing address, and I'll send you a copy. [Posted in FML issue 0683]
