Hello, everyone! I'm a friend of Chris Haas, a long time subscriber, and a new subscriber to the list. I'm currently working on an assignment in which I have to do a speech on a controversial subject and argue for or against it, so I chose to argue against the bass-ackward states that have anti-ferret laws. I was wondering if anyone out there has any sort of "reliable" information, like case histories, copies of the actual laws. I'm aware of the McDowell case, and any official info regarding that would certainly be appreciated. I've heard rumors about how California officials treat ferrets, but I don't have anything I could actually put as a reference. I'd be grateful for anything anyone could contribute, especially quotable sources. Please direct all responses to: [log in to unmask] Thanks a million!!
