To Gary M Sadger, 1. Kodo did not bite anyone. The gentleman was bumped and brushed up against the ferrets k-9 tooth. 2. Your e-mail indicates you have FULL access to a University Library and are not operating from a home computer. Use the University to do research. Mr. Jacob's was INVITED to the an educational display in the mall. He went only because he was invited. 3. If you like the status quo of the rabies Kill law, which is non-specific and done by human interreptation of the CDC regs, maybe you'd like to go back to rule by England. 4. Education does not need to be done to the public ferret owners, but to bring the Michigan government laws up-to-date with current studies. "No one has ever contracted rabies from a ferret bite in the history of the CDC records" Mike Shaddock, DVM, State Vet. Laws are written to protect all, but also to be interrepted and applied by both the spirit and the letter. Not indiscriminately, to get it over by killing the ferret (there is no painless humane way), this is the easy and cheap way out. To review the case facts, is the EDUCATED way. Kodo never was outside the home. Kodo's rabies shots are current. Are all your shots current...Your personal shots---tetnaus, TB-tine, etc. [Posted in FML issue 1930]
