I am so annoyed....I just got approved to move into base housing yesterday... a nice 1000 sq foot 2 bedroom, in which my fuzzies were going to get the second bedroom since we don't have kids. I went in for my "briefing" today, and I got this sheet of approved pets. Item 2d on this sheet of paper reads : The following domesticated animals are approved to reside on MHAFB: Cats, dogs, fish, mice, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, birds and rabbits. Wild animals not approved include skunks, ferrets, raccoons, foxes, ocelots, coyotes, woloves, wolf hybrids, pigs, snakes or other potentially rabid or dangerous animals. I am shocked and appauled by this!! Another sheet of paper I have here refers to ferrets as "burrowing rodents" !! I am very upset and not about to give up my fuzzies, although I am a bit afraid of the consequences of bringing them on base and getting caught, though I'm not sure why anyone would have reason to come into our house. I was so afraid to say anything because I figured if I mentioned it or caused a fuss, I'd be red-flagged as a potential problem or something. I just can't believe that the Air Force still regards ferrets as non-domesticated or potentially rabid and dangerous. You'd think we were in California instead of Idaho! I was thinking about sending an anonymous letter to them or the faq, but I doubt they would even read it. Well anyways, just had to vent. Anyone else in the service and had experience in base housing? Shaeryn [Posted in FML issue 2144]
