I need help with my pet skunk
http://www.skunklaw.com I am trying to rally support for laws in
Illinois to be changed. My brother got us a pet skunk for a wedding gift. What a strange thing, huh? After contacting my vet to get all of the appropriate shots I learned that skunks are illegal in Illinois. As it turns out, every law in Illinois results in the killing of the skunk involved. There is an open year round hunting season. Conservation officers and animal control officers are ordered to have any skunk they are confronted with killed. Even wildlife rehabbers can lose their license for helping an injured skunk. In Illinois, genocide is the only way. I am seeking to have the current prohibition policy amended to allow a conservative permit policy allowing citizens to have a domestic (pen raised not wild) skunk as a pet. Pet skunks are allowed in Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and Kentucky, but must be killed in Illinois. Every legislator I talk to wishes me the best and says they will support it, but none will write a bill. This may sound off of the wall to most of you, but it means life or death to a member of my family. www.skunklaw.com |
