From the little I know about Class 3 licenses in Florida, I remember the rules and forms were making it harder for people to get the permits. I think they adopted a requirement that you had to have so many hours of experience caring for certain types of animals for a certain period of time before they would approve a permit. My husband had Class 3 for venomous snakes only. But for some animals you needed to have worked or volunteered at wildlife compounds already in operation, so FWC, knew, you knew the proper care and handling of such animals. Doing shows is a great idea, plus your informing the public, about these types of animals. I hope one day you get your skunk, just be sure he or she is fixed so the stink sprayer does not work. lol
