The cities of Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana has had a 20 year old policy stating that any exotic pet is not allowed in city parks. This policy was established before ferrets became more of a common household pet and a proper rabies vaccine was not available to ferrets. However, in recent years that has changed. Rabies vaccine is available and mandatory and the state of Indiana labels ferrets as domesticated animals just like dogs and cats. This petition is to help eliminate the policy of banning ferrets from Lafayette/West Lafayette parks as long as the animal is leashed and is up to date on vaccines just like any dog.
