We Need People at the Feb 19th Ferret Legalization Rally! STILL - No Response From Assemblyman Marc Levine with our request for a meeting Is 15 minutes of his or his staff's time so hard to come by? They've been reading CLIFFNotes for weeks, in fact their scheduler opened it 68 times last week.



What message are they trying to send by ignoring us?

Anyone good at making signs?



Contacting the media?



Lets get the word out - California ferrets owners are mad as H - E Double Hockey Sticks and we deserve to be heard!





Honest to goodness - we want a good relationship with Assemblyman Levine. We're not here to pick a fight. But really - we asked for a meeting months ago and we deserve at least an answer.



Friday, February 19 - at 12 PM - 1 PM



County of Marin Civic Center Building 3501 Civic Center Drive, Room 412 San Rafael, CA 94903



Rally outside the District office of Assemblyman Marc Levine, Chairman of the Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee.



Assemblyman Levine will not meet with us - and has yet to even acknowledge our request for a meeting.



We'll be in front of the Post Office starting at noon. At 1pm we will walk into Assemblyman Levine's office and deliver the 10,000 signatures we collected on the Legalize Ferrets Ballot Initiative.



Which means if you have any petitions left please send them in so we can include them.

Ferret Care Tip #2: Ferret-proof any rooms your ferret can access. Ferrets are curious, flexible animals that are drawn to places and things people might not expect. This can be a deadly combination if a home isn’t ferret-proofed.



That space above the kitchen floor boards? Yes, ferrets can get into that. Ferrets are known to end up in laundry, which can have a final stop in the washing machine. Ferrets also tend to eat bits of eraser tips, doorstop covers, houseplants and other items that can cause gastrointestinal blockage or illness. Ferret-proofing requires thinking like a ferret and removing possible dangers, especially during holidays.



For Drakiotes, ferret-proofing is the most important concern for ferret owners. And she’s not alone in ranking it as important.



Claudia T., a ferret enthusiast and treasurer of Ferrets Anonymous in California, cautions that ferret owners should ferret-proof their entire house, whether or not the ferret is allowed access to it. This is because ferrets don’t always stay where they’re supposed to.



"Never underestimate a ferret!" Claudia T. said.

Because I'd like to have some non-political value to these newsletters. Thank you Small Animal Channel. I have a volunteer for each day, Saturday and Sunday. But more is better!



We are in booth 621.



We can still collect signatures for the Ballot Initiative, although the deadline is Feb 9th. But we're going to deliver them to Assemblyman Marc Levine's office on Feb 19th, probably for his bonfire party.



I'd love to clear out the 2016 Legalize Ferrets calendar so we'll be offering them for a dollar donation, and signing up people for CLIFFNotes, this newsletter.
