Hello FMLer's and especially Butler County, Ohio residence, I just received a call today (Monday 21 September 1998) at 10:10 am from Mike Brunne (The Butler County, Ohio Health Departments Chief of Environmental Services). He informed me that ferrets are now legal in Butler County, Ohio. There are no special restrictions or requirements. They will be treated exactly the same as dogs and cats, and will require the standard ten day quarantine period in the event of a bite or scratch incident. The verbiage of the law is exactly the same as Warren County's rabies policy (which is very good). He also informed me that the commissioners adopted the policy without requiring the standard three read hearing process. Congratulations Butler County ferret owners! Bring 'em out and be proud. Jerry, Nita and eight should have been enough plus one [Posted in FML issue 2439]
