Reference Sables from Soviet Union. I work with a group of gentlemen from the former Soviet Union and forwarded the question about importing a Sable from their country. The answer is NO WAY for it to happen legally. As Yuri put it "if you like gulags (siberian prison) go right ahead and take the chance". According to what I gleaned from the conversation, Sables are like a national treasure and very strictly guarded and managed. Yuri has been over here now for 6 months this trip , longest he's been away from TAZ (Tasha Alexandra Zurisivich, sp?) his 3 year old blackeyed white female. He says "it ees like giving up the drug, you vant it but you can no get it". I do beleive the man really misses his fuzzy. I invited him over to the house this weekend to give him a fuzzy fix, boy will my 4 go crazy. [Posted in FML issue 1397]
