How do people know our home is a ferret house? EASY! On our front door is a sign that says: Ferrets loose in this house! Anyone who can't deal with this need not ring the bell. A question: We received a flyer in the mail from a group called The Fund for Animals based in New York City. In it they state that our DEC is eleiminating the permit system for beavers,bears and Ferrets (yes, lumping them in with wild animals). They are against this. Does anyone know what they are talking about in this? Do they mean permits to trap? In NY state, we are required to have a permit to KEEP ferrets and we just got our new ones with no mention of its elimination. Has anyone else gotten one of these flyers in the mail? Since the other animals mentioned are wild, is Fund for Animals just confused? [Posted in FML issue 1458]
