PAT WRIGHT My Wish List for the August 25th Fish and Game Meeting As mentioned many times - The California Fish and Game Commission is going to give us their answer to our Petition for Regulation Change at their August 25th meeting in Folsom. Twenty days before (more or less) the agenda will be published. And we'll see either a staff recommendation of "Deny" or "Grant Further Consideration" next to our item.



Sometime during that meeting we will be able to speak publicly to the issue to make our case. I'm hoping to reinforce the Grant Further Consideration, but even if staff recommends "Deny", this is what I want:



A letter of support from the California Game Wardens Association saying they have better things to do than chase after pet ferrets.



A letter of support from the California Veterinary Medical Association and another letter from the California Animal Control Directors Association.



The last two organizations supported us in the past. I'm on this like white on rice and if anyone can help, if you have connections - step forward. All I have is perseverance.



California Fish and Game Commission Meeting:



Lake Natoma Inn Hotel & Conference Center

702 Gold Lake Dr.

Folsom, CA 95630



Tenatively, let's meet at noon - show your support. I would like to see if there is any interest in getting together the night before. Sacramento seems to be the ferret legalization hot spot right now.



I'm also trying to think of what kind of signage we should have at the meeting so everyone knows we are there to support ferret legalization.



Ideas??? Time is running out. I hope to have our plans solidified by next week's CLIFFNotes. 2017 LegalizeFerrets Calendar - Keep on Proofing! We are ahead of schedule for the 2017 LegalizeFerrets calendar. Here it is with a few corrections and the cover, front and back now done.



If you see any errors of suggestions to change the text, please let us know. We will probably send it to the printer in two weeks.

And so far, with almost half the candidates contacted, we have very little response. Apparently they won't talk to us.



Our goal is to find 10 candidates who will talk ferrets with us and give them support and a $250 contribution. It's still early, but let's just say I have more faith in the Fish and Game Commission at this point.



I spoke too soon! Matthew is running in the 17th assembly district. I don't think a Republican can win in San Francisco, but we like to make friends!

I finally hit my stride & made it to the Big Show #makingferretsgreatagain Like or retweet unless you hate ferrets https://t.co/1jodnmGw2e — Matthew Del Carlo (@MatthewDelCarlo) July 16, 2016
