The only ferret shelter in Quebec, Furet mon ami, has been asked by the city of Carignan to cease its operation by December 30, 1996. The city also asked Mrs. Jeannine Degand to get rid of her own ferrets. They say the zoning prohibits a shelter operation. This shelter has been in operation since January 1993 and has the status of a registered charity. I will send a letter to the mayor of Carignan (madame le maire Renee Legendre) by fax. The city does not have an e-mail address. If you would like to tell the city that this shelter should remain open and extremely useful to ferret owners and provides mportant information to new owners or whatever else you think is appropriate in a message written in english or french: please send me your message by e-mail and I will send it by fax to the city or print it and mail it with other messages by express mail to the mayor or send it directly to the city.
