Vol 12 No 26 - June 26th, 2016

<<First Name>> <<Last Name>> <<Custom1>> <<Custom2>> Anxiously Waiting for Fish and Game Commission Staff Recommendation

How could they possibly recommend against ferret legalization? If you go to the California Fish and Game Commission website, then to meetings, then to 2016 you will find their list of meetings. Click here to see what I mean.



There should be an item on the agenda for non-marine petition items on August 25th in Folsom. (As of today their agenda isn't published.) And before the meeting, Fish and Game Staff will make a recommendation to Deny or Consider our petition for regulation change. I was trying to find it on their agenda from a recent meeting... but it's gone. Or I'm blind. However I did save a copy.



Since they have committed to considering our petition I'm very curious how they will handle it. Previously when we asked the Commission to consider ferret legalization and pointed out the total lack of evidence that ferrets pose any of the harm Fish and Game/Wildlife claimed was possible, we got a very terse "we don't have time for this." Please remember, these are all new Commissioners.



For more information, please see Submitting a Petition for Regulation Change



We are planning on making a show of support for our petition on August 25 at their meeting at Lake Natoma Inn Hotel & Conference Center, 702 Gold Lake Dr. Folsom, CA 95630. Stay tuned for details.



If you haven't done so already, please sign our Change.org petition to the Commission. Let's make it to 1,000 signatures! The Ferret PAC Gets a Look
