: I wrote to Mass, and asked about layovers in their state.. here is what their reply was..

:
: If you are properly licensed or authorized at both your point of origin and
: destination, and are passing through Massachusetts with the animal in a
: secure travel kennel, and are in compliance with airline or other travel
: regulations, and keep the animal kenneled and secure while in Massachusetts
: there would likely be no cause for concern. If an animal such as this was
: removed from its kennel and walked or otherwise exposed to the public and
: native wildlife that act would likely be considered possession in
: Massachusetts without a permit.

: These are opinions. For legal insight contact the US Fish and Wildlife
: Service, Law Enforcement office at 617.424.5750.
