Hello all: There are still a handful of states that still need volunteers to research for the International Ferret Rights Information Center. I have been getting volunteers on a daily basis, so THANK YOU all that are working on this project! However, there are still some areas that need representation. Again, even if your state is not listed, we can always use more than one volunteer to help with the work load. So if you live on Earth and want to make a few phone calls to gather information in your state or country, volunteer! States that still have NO volunteers: ALABAMA ALAZKA HAWAII IDAHO NEVADA NEW MEXICO NORTH CAROLINA NORTH DAKOTA OREGON SOUTH DAKOTA TENNESSEE UTAH WYOMING As far as Hawaii goes, obviously nobody there owns a ferret, since you can't get into the state with one. However, there is no rule that says that you have to LIVE in the state that you are researching!! If anyone wants to work on Hawaii, please volunteer. Some of the states listed above have ferret clubs and associations. If you know of one, contact them and find out if they would be willing to work on this project. Countries that are represented are: Australia (Queensland), Canada (only Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan) France, Israel (Jerusalem), and Germany (Berlin and the other volunteer did not specify). I am interested in research data from any country that has ferrets. Thanks again to all who have offered to help!
