June 1 is the deadline to register to speak at the June 3rd NYC Health. Dept. public hearing on a City proposal to specify ferret as a prohibited animal. Call Patricia Caruso at 212-788-5010 to put your name on the list to speak (for 5 minutes). If you don't see this message in time, you may come anyway and most likely be allowed to speak unless the entire two hours is booked up (I'm told it won't be). Address is 125 Worth Street, 2nd floor auditorium, Manhattan. (subways to Bklyn Bridge/City Hall stop, then walk a couple blocks north to the Sanitation & Health Depts. Bldg) [Posted in FML issue 2692]
