Helping
Ferrets The goals of the AFA are many: To promote the domestic
ferret as a companion animal through public education via shows, newsletters, legislative education, and other venues; to protect the domestic
ferret against anti-
ferret legislation, mistreatment, unsound breeding practices and overpopulation, needless scientific
research, and any practice deemed to lower the
health standards or survivability of the animal; and to provide constant and up - to - date information about veterinarians, legislative activities, medical developments,
research data, rescue shelters and other information of interest to
ferret fanciers everywhere.
