Two questions: Could someone who is familiar with the GCFA's history please contact me privately? I was going to join, but I've heard something about their shelter that disturbed me. I would like to know if it's truth or rumor before I make a decision. None of the GCFA people I've talked to have been members long enough to know either way. Yes, I'm being vague on purpose, but I'll be happy to clarify my concerns to anyone who knows the GCFA fairly well. I just moved to Cook County and got rabies vaccinations for the ferts since they were due. The vet told me that ferrets (unlike cats and dogs) were destroyed in bite incidents regardless of their vaccination records. Is this standard practice for most parts of the country, or is this isolated ignorance? What can I can do to help change this policy? Chuck Renaud <[log in to unmask]> / [Posted in FML issue 1666]
