H.R. 669, the Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act

I’m sure all ferret owners in the States must be in a state of total anxiety, wondering if this wretched bill will be passed by Congress.
The American Ferret Association is doing everything it can to prevent ferrets from being listed as one of the animals to be banned so I urge all US ferret owners to check out what the AFA has put on its website and also read the pdf file which advises what you should say to your member of Congress.
Today is the day that the bill is being discussed in Congress and I can only hope and pray that common sense will prevail and ferrets will be considered as domesticated animals, together with dogs and cats.
Surely they can’t think otherwise?!?!

Ps: Thanks for all your help.
I can imagine how you must feel, JC. I haven’t been able to track down what happened to that bill but I think the time difference might be a factor so maybe I have to wait till tomorrow to try and hunt up any information!
Thanks Dada – hopefully they won’t put ferrets on the list and all our worries will be for nothing
Nona many thanks for all the info. & posting this on your site.
Hugs to your gang & You.
I just hope my request wasn't late. I just keep praying this bill doesn't include my babies.
