The American Ferret Association is asking each and every ferret owner
and/or interested person, to please go to our website at www.ferret.org
and go to the TOP article "UPDATE" on contacting your congressional
representativs and senators (NOT on the State level, but on the national
level) to help us get this rule pushedd through the USDA. They are now
telling us it may take up to a year, however, the Public Information
Officer told us that by contacting your representatives, this could put
pressure on the USDA to hasten the process along. Once you go into
the article itself, there is a form letter for everyone to simply print out, fill
out, sign and mail. It will do an enormous amount of help, ESPECIALLY
NOW JUST BEFORE ELECTIONS ARE ABOUT DUE!! Please help in
this endeavor to get the "ball rolling" on saving baby ferrets. I know this
is a "health" list, however, the health of many infant ferrets is at high risk
without our help. Thank you. Gail Suzanne Burlaka, Member-at-Large,
American Ferret Association
[This announcement is health related in that the age of shipping and
mode of transport can affect health and survival. Please, discuss any
political aspects -- as opposed to health aspects -- with the AFA directly
rather than here, and, please, do check the site to consider what you
can to help kits. -- Sukie]
