No news is... no news!

From time to time we get e-mails asking about the status of ferret legalization in NYC. Things have been very quiet for a while and there are no NYC ferret legalization efforts in progress that we are aware of. While it's great to have volunteers to help with things like letter writing, mailings, and petitions, any new legalization effort really requires one or two people at the forefront with a solid knowledge of local lawmaking and government who can give 20-40 hours of their time each week for up to a year or two. Right now there isn't someone like that available to take the lead, so unfortunately it may be a while before there are more legalization efforts in NYC. The people who generally lead NYC's legalization efforts are currently extremely busy and do not have enough spare time to start up another legalization effort at this time.

Since there are no current legalization efforts in NYC, NYCFerrets.Com is being maintained primarily as an archival site for information on the ban and past legalization efforts. If we are made aware of new ferret legalization efforts for NYC, this site will resume more of its former functions and will inform people on the e-mail lists.
