Fellow FMLers;
 
        I thought about a petition via E-Mail that could be compiled and
     sent to John Neil, et al.  I do not know how much attention would be
     paid to it since it would not contain handwritten signatures.
     However, I'm sure if everyone clearly stated their position on ferret
     treatment at the county/state/federal level, and their name, address
     and phone number it could make for quite a lot of paper once printed
     out.
 
        FX:
 
                I want fair and equal treatment for ferrets.
                They deserve equal, or even better, treatment
                as that received by cats/dogs if/when they
                bite someone.  The health department is NOT
                the "end all" when it comes to knowledge of
                ferrets.  FYI, Ferrets have been DOMESTICATED
                500 YEARS longer that the cat.

        I, unfortunately, cannot make the time to collect submissions of
     this type for the petition.  However, if someone would [please]
     volunteer and collect/compile this info, I would be willing to take a
     day off of work to hand-deliver the printed petition in the
     Baltimore-DC area.  Additionally, if someone does officially take on
     this task, you may use the above example as my submission to the
     petition.
 
                                Regards,
