Finally, a lawsuit against the California Department of Fish & Game! And from a totally unexpected source (at least in my mind) -- Marshall Farms. I think we're going to see much faster progress now. We have not only CDFA and Californians for Ferret Legalization and Assembly member Jan Goldsmith and organizers Jeanne Carley and her dad and California veterinarians and ferret rescuers lined up against F&G, but commercial interests and some legal muscle as well. I believe this is the domino that will set them all to toppling. As for boycotting California produce -- ferrets everywhere will probably take me to court for saying this (vicious slander!) -- most of the raisins we buy come from the Golden State. OK, OK, I was just kidding! Linda [Posted in FML issue 1795]
