<<First Name>> <<Last Name>> <<Custom1>> <<Custom2>> Rough Draft (but still pretty good) Open Letter to Fish and Game Commissioners

READ THE WHOLE THING (PDF)



As they prepare to consider our petition to resume issuing permits for ferrets.



Fish and Game will consider our petition asking them to issue permits for ferrets at their April 26-27, 2017 meeting at Airtel Plaza Hotel, 7277 Valjean Ave in Van Nuys, It looks like they will consider our petition on the 26th.



Actually staff will make a recommendation about ten days prior and the Commissioners will likely follow their staff's Recommendations.



Please let me know if you have any suggestions or corrections before Tuesday and we will do a final edition. I will compile suggestions and send them to Heidi, our genius, talented, graphic artist.



Then we'll print up copies and send them off to the Fish and Game Commission, Publish it out on the web wide and far, and pay for a press release. Friday afternoons I am a memory unit helping my mom. It is hard to take phone calls. But I didn't have to worry, no body called me back. Please make your voice heard. Email or call each assemblymember and remind them - we're asking for your support! April 2nd is National Ferret Day We're running ads on Facebook and their going gang busters. Thank you all Five Dollar Ferret Friday donors for giving us the ability!

Ferret Saved From Wedding Shower Hey, we saved a ferret last night. I got a call from someone at a Wedding Shower in Chino Hills last night. They said a ferret kept coming to the door and they shooed it away twice. "Come get it now." I'm in La Mesa, who do I know who can do this, now!? 2 members who wish to be anonymous picked her up and she is safe. Phew, the pressure. I was afraid they were going to keep shooing this ferret away. Not good Mostly Ignored by the Water Parks and Wildlife Committee I've called twice and twitted once to each member of the Legislature's Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee. I'm waiting for the letter from Senator Todd Gloria's office and our open letter to the Commissioners and I'll contact again. Feel free to call, email to tweet to the members and ask them for a letter of support for our petition asking the Fish and Game Commission to actually issue permits for ferrets. Click here!

Don't forget to sign our current Change.org petition.



Past petitions have allowed people to opt in to receive emails from us but for some reason this one doesn't. And we have grown out email list by thousands. I usually buy Facebook ads but since we're not getting email signs ups I'm not advertising.



But perhaps I'll put out a meme. Odd that these people are so concerned about their right to own guns and hunt, but they don't give a hoot about our right to own a domestic pet of our choice.



Sign the petition if you haven't already! Join the 3000 Club In Conclusion I'm very happy to wrap up our open letter to the Fish and Game Commission. Remember, our audience is beyond the Commission. We want the rest of the world know how backwards California is in regards to ferrets and it is time to make this little change!
