Just the Ticket: Ferret fury!
JUST THE TICKET:Ferret fury!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

* Ferret enthusiasts are furious over new EU legislation which could
make their favourite pets second class European citizens - behind rats and mice.
The fur is set to fly over plans by Euro-lawmakers to prevent
ferrets from having their own pet passports which enable animals to
travel in and out of Britain with their owners.
Pet passports - until now the preserve of cats and dogs - are set to
be extended to cover rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas
living in the UK, exempting them from quarantine regulations.
But ferret owners in the North-East are livid over fears that their
pets will be refused full European citizenship.
