I spoke with James Albertson at the Atlanta Humane Society last week about the ferret mentioned on the FML. He told me that he/she had been reclaimed by the owner. I reminded him that the GDFA was here for any ferrets that came in to them and he said that even though ferrets are not truly exotics it is their policy to not offer them to the general public for adoption. He also said that they don't get too many ferrets and any that are not claimed are adopted by employees to which I responded that eventually his employees won't want any more ferrets. Anyway, he said that if we (the GDFA) write him a letter he will give it to the director (Bill Garrett), who can then bring it up at a board meeting and possibly change their policy. I have a feeling that this will take some time, but we were successful with Cobb County 2 years ago when they had made ferrets illegal in the county. Keep your fingers crossed. Jan M.
