Hello, Everyone,
We have made a mistake and are sorry any if you might have been misled.
David Gaines, our symposium speaker on legislative issues, did NOT get ferrets legalized in Washington, DC. What he did do, however, was bring to the attention of the ferret world (and everyone else, for that matter) the fact that the DC Board of Health, Division of Animal Disease Prevention issues exemption permits on a case by case basis and they are no longer enforcing their ferret ban. David had nothing to do with the Board of Health adopting this permit procedure...but he did let everyone know about it!
So, while ferrets are still illegal in Washington, DC ferret ownership has been 'decriminalized'.
Sorry for the wrong information.
Francine
