Hi Everyone! I don't mean to upset anyone, but, the whole thing about quarantine is in my opinion ridiculous, a simple proof of rabies vaccin should be more than enough! If the fuzzie owners that smuggled their babies had that, i don't see the reason to flame them. Rabies is a problem, i agree, but there are no quarantine for wild animals crossing the borders (which happens every day) or birds flying over. Everyone should do their best to keep rabies under control, But to me quarantine is not a good idea, and i would go to any lengh to avoid it, I have so far never had to deal with the issue first hand, but i know the stress it caused Liza when i parted from her for a few days! I am pretty certain i would seriously considder smuggling my babies if i had to, and i don't think it would make me an irresponsible ferret owner. How many known cases have been reported of ferrets having rabies? Most countries affected by rabies demand yearly vaccinations, and a lot of countries where they dont't have rabies vaccinate anyway, the problems are not among house pets, but rather in the wildlife enviroment, and even there it is hardly noticeable! The problem of carrying diseases cross the borders are bigger in immigration of humans, just thought i'd share my opinion, i am sure many of you will dissagree, but isn't that the beauty of human communication? Wish You All a Very Happy Thanks Giving Josephine Liza Truls and Lucky [Posted in FML issue 2504]
