Yes, we do have USDA licensed breeders here in Dallas. Thats another thing I cant figure out... why would they give a license out in an area they are illegal?! What I got was... "They are legal to sell but not to own." (when I asked about it at the time) Whaaaat???? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I dont understand it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shakehead.gif" alt="" />

What Lucy said is exactly what was told to me..."unless the ordinance has been re-written" than anything under the classification of marsupial will be considered illegal. The thing is our animal control officer (ONLY one in our city) had absolutely NOOOO idea what a sugar glider was and than when he called me back to read me the ordinance he couldnt even pronounce the word marsupial.... I give you my word on that. He started to spell it out and I finished it off and he said yeah yeah that is it. Go figure...

If you want to know what a person is like, watch how he treats others.

You'll never know what the outcome is if you don't step up and try.

I have been on the phone calling various cities concerning laws and regulations about sugar gliders, so far:

Wow, you get kudos for this. Just to be safe though, I think you need to get all these statements in writing. A written law will still prevail over a verbal phone response.

funny you should say that; i was just contemplating how to go about having Ms. Malone issue me a written statement to the effect of her statement regarding the "pocket pet" status! the written word does indeed carry more weight than hot air! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif" alt="" />

BMXgirl, there are licensed breeders in Pennsylvania! My guess is that the USDA doesn't check on local ordinances when licensing breeders. So you could conceivably have a license to sell in places where they are illegal to own. It's probably something the USDA could be called into account over, but I guess they haven't been.

One more reason I don't trust the USDA in dealing with sugar gliders. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shakehead.gif" alt="" />

But if you Dallas people ever want to start a petition I'm sure you'd get a lot of signatures from the California people!

Ok... I have to stick my foot in my mouth! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
I must correct my self... (not right if I dont <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worried2.gif" alt="" /> )
The breeders I thought were USDA in Dallas, are not IN Dallas but close by. I dont know why I assumed they were IN Dallas... I guess maybe because they sell in different areas... and I just could have sworn I was in Dallas when I was over there... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shakehead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> (Im blonde?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" /> ) I dunno...
My appologies, I was wrong. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I know I had another breeder that I had kept the info to, because I was going to get my first Glider from them a little over 3 years ago. (But then again, I may be wrong about that to! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" /> Wouldnt be the first time!)
If I can find it, Ill check to make sure first before I say anything. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sorry guys, just had to correct myself... wouldnt have felt right if I didnt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was told a long time ago when I asked the city why they could be licensed if its supposed to be prohibited... and was seriously told "They are legal to sell but not to own..." (This was right when I was getting into Gliders and I read this somewhere online... after this though... I called to question it after talking to vets and them telling me it was legal, and I was told they WERE legal!?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> )

And now I know, the first time I called years ago, here I am asking a question about breeders in Dallas that are USDA... and this city person is telling me 'legal to sell...not to own, blah blah' .... and in reality there may not even be any USDA licensed breeders actually IN Dallas?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />
And then years later, call and them tell me its legal?!
And all you guys that have called or ran into Animal Control, etc etc... Does the city even know what its doing? I wish everyone would get on the same page! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sighhhhhh...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohwell.gif" alt="" />
