Section >(4) would actually offer them more protection. I need your help. While I can see that section (4) already exists, ferrets are certainly covered under section (1)! Look at the new Humane Society Statement, look at the existing rabies vaccine, etc. I would not aim so low, but go for it all. There's still plenty of time if people hussle to also flood the place with mail documentation - copies of the Humane Society statement, which lumps ferrets in with domestic dogs and cats/pets. Actual info about the rabies vaccine, etc. Best of luck to you, from a Californian, where the sweeties are still fugitives, although we've won our first, but not last, major victory. -- Tigger (Grace Sylvan) Mom of Katherine Yelena, 6.5, [log in to unmask] Robin Gregory, 4 Children's Shareware Pages: http://www.sylvan.com/ [Posted in FML issue 1577]
