A heartfelt thankyou to everyone who became involved in the NJ Incident. A few final notes... Last night I spoke with David Revere, the Shelter Operator who had the custody of the three babies. We spoke at great length, and a lot of issues were cleared up- and opened up. 1. All three ferrets had been vacinated. David had vaccine records on two, the third was produced a few days after the incident. This should clear up the various versions of this part of the case. 2. The dead ferrets names were Tiki, Rascal and Squirrel. Perhaps someone could post them on the list of all the ferret names. I believe Tiki was the female. 3. We will be meeting on Sunday night in central NJ to discuss this case, and how we can change the laws, and develop a plan of action. If you would like to attend, please contact me directly via e-mail for directions, etc. 4. We are not going to drop this now. There were numerous legal irregularities, of which I don't feel a public forum is the place to digress (plus a lawsuit might be initiated and I don't want to say anything without legal permission.) We plan on riding with the momentumwe have created in order to change the laws. We have an animal friendly Governor who is a key Republican in an election year where a Republican is trying to win the Presidency. We have news media attention. We won't stop here. 5. We will throw as much of the spotlight onto CA as possible. The floks from CDFA and FA as well as the CA Division of LOS were very supportive of us. 6. I have a detailed chronology of events for anyone who wnats it. It is quite long, so for the sake of space, I am not posting it here. If you want it, please e-mail me at [log in to unmask] Please use that e-mail rather than this one, as I can not (or am technologically impaired and can not figure out how) to attach files to this mail server. 7. Please use this as a precedent. If ou have an animal involved in an alleged biting incident- PLEASE- DO NOT DELAY!!! Get in touch with your local club immediately so things can get moving. One of the biggest problems with this case was that David Revere did not get effective legal counsel until it was too late. I am not blaming David, he never in his wildest dreams expected the outcome that became reality. But we can learn from this. 8. One other note- If you are a shelter operator, please check with your homeowners insurance to make sure you have proper and adequate coverage. -Mrs. Duck [Posted in FML issue 1600]
