Dear T, Please post me privately for more information and help. In general, this is true - but it does look strange... "THE SURGEON GENERAL HAS FOUND OWNING FERRETS ON MILITARY BASES TO BE A HAZARD TO YOUR HEALTH" Okay - stop laughing, this is serious... Since we don't HAVE a surgeon general right now, you can't fight this. But in the past it has been ignored. Most military vets won't treat ferrets on base, but you can usually find a local vet who does not care that you have a ferret on military housing. I live outside DC (where ferrets are illegal and there are plenty of military bases) and I know lots of ferrets living on Bolling AFB. I have also taken in a lot of ferrets that were given up for the very reasons T describes. The decision is yours (to keep or give up) and I would like to continue to try and help the military see the light and accept ferrets. maybe the next Surgeon General??? Anyway - I am a safehouse contact for temporary storage of ferrets needing to be off base or out of apartments due to inspections - contact me for outlets located in other cities as well.
