This message is going to both the FML and the Kodo list. I have mentioned my thoughts before, but I want everyone to hear my exact plan and let me know if this is a go-ahead or if someone else will do it. I hereby offer my services to maintain an up to date list of all states positions about quarantine/kill and test and other related legal information on my web site. I strongly feel that just one site should maintain all of this information so that everyone knows exactly where to turn to get this info. My thoughts on how to organize it is as follows: A list by state alphabetically, with anchors that take you down to the state you need info for. In each state's section will be DOCUMENTED information about whether ferrets are legal in that state, need permits, whether they are classified as domestic, exotic, or wild, how bite cases are handled (quarantine or kill and test), and any pending legal action that is being taken in that state to change anything regarding ferrets, plus the ONE person that should be contacted with information about that state (i.e. the person that is in charge of gathering information about that state--I'm only offering to list this stuff on my site, I can't possibly do the research for all states). If everyone wants me to go ahead with this page, let me know. Please post something on your site directing people to me with their information --THEY NEED TO OFFER THE SOURCE OF THEIR INFO, not just "I heard from a friend that..." If everyone feels that this is a go-ahead, I'll start right away with the new page on my site. E-mail to me about this issue should go to <[log in to unmask]> preferably with the subject RABIES PAGE as I have an average of 75 e-mails a day to wade through. The address of my site if you'd like to check it out is at the bottom of this message. IMPORTANT: I NEED PEOPLE from every state that are interested in being in charge of reporting information from their state. It's not a small job, but it won't just take one phone call, either. THIS DOES NOT MEAN that you'd be responsible for legal fees if action is taken, it just means you will be the one person to contact me with this information, with your sources and all pertinent information. Feel free to get one, ten, a hundred others to help you out, but I need ONE person per state that will be in charge. I will list your name on my web site as the person to contact with information/questions (solely by e-mail if you don't want your phone ringing off the hook). **** Mary McCarty: Are you the Pennsylvania person?????? **** We've got Ferret Central, I guess we could call this page Rabies Central... (that's dumb, but you get my point). It will be the one place to turn where all of this information is available. Also, if it turns out to be too much to list on just one page of my shelter's site, I'll get a new web site just for this information. Everyone, please e-mail me with your opinions about this, your offers for help, etc. Again, please e-mail to <[log in to unmask]> with the subject header RABIES PAGE so it can be a priority.
