[Chris Harper]

As a long time gate worker, who has even refused entrance to minors without
the proper paper work; Please allow me to insert a few words.

This information is on each SCA ad about 99% of the time and it should be
100% of the time.

This applies to most animals.  Horses have to have a Coggins ( spelled
something like that ) test result paper to get in the gate.  If it has fur,
I believe it requires a rabies certificate.  I think the only thing that
gets in without papers, are feathered friends. And an awful lot of them are
banded anyway.

When you get your animal a rabies vaccination, I believe the law requires
that they give you a paper certificate because metal tags can be changed
from animal to animal.  The tags only show a number and the vets name and
phone number usually.  The certificate makes an attempt to describe the
breed and looks of the animal as well.

I am sorry you all and Luther missed the event as well,  They even had
'coursing' for the dogs.
Please try again, especially at this site; it is a great one for
animals.  They have so much room for all the things they need to do and
places for them to play with their people.
