Here in Oregon we see a lot of ferret refugees from California. Apparently, in the wake of the failed legislative effort, the border crossings into California have stepped up inspections. I think it was Needles that was particularly problematic, but I may be wrong on that. I don't have my OFA newsletter right here at hand. I've also heard that ferrets confiscated at the border are asphyxiated on the spot. Does anyone have any hard news on this? Is this true? Paula [Posted in FML issue 0823]
