Kansas Black-footed Ferret #3 (31 Kb JPEG) Czech Web Site The black-footed ferret weights about 1 kg (2.2 lb). It is usually found on shortgrass and midgrass prairies in close association with prairie dogs, which constitute most of its diet. Prairie dog burrows are utilized by the ferret for shelter and travel. The ferret is nocturnal and may be active above ground for only a few minutes every few days (which makes it difficult to observe and study). The female usually bears 3 - 4 young per litter. The young emerge from the burrow in July and leave their mother in September or October. The black-footed ferret is solitary, except during the breeding season, and males apparently do not help to rear the young. Black-footed ferrets experienced a dramatic decline in their North American range during the first half of this century, presumably due to agricultural development of their prairie habitat and a deliberate, government-endorsed program by ranchers to kill off the prairie dog, the ferret's main prey species. The black-footed ferret was thought to be extinct in the late 1970's.

CITIZEN GROUPS ASK WILDLIFE COMMISSION TO REIN IN PRAIRIE DOG SHOOTING ACROSS STATE: Protections needed for rare black-footed ferret and imperiled prairie dog ecosystem

Wendy Keefover-Ring, Sinapu, (303) 447-8655
Nicole Rosmarino, Forest Guardians, 719-523-4123
Judy Enderle, Rocky Mountain Animal Defense 303.638.4672 Denver, Colorado The Wildlife Commission will take testimony on the matter at its May 3rd meeting in Grand Junction. Last year, prairie dog shooters in Colorado killed over 55,000 white-tailed and Gunnison's prairie dogs, according to the Division of Wildlife. These two species inhabit the western part of the state and are not protected by the Wildlife Commission's recent shooting ban for black-tailed prairie dogs, which inhabit eastern Colorado. Biologists agree that a suite of species of special concern, including the ferret, mountain plover, swift fox, burrowing owl, and ferruginous hawk, are declining because of reductions in prairie dogs and their towns. Over 200 species have been observed on or near prairie dog colonies. "We are asking the commission to take this extremely reasonable step to protect imperiled prairie dogs in Colorado," stated Erin Robertson, Staff Biologist for Center for Native Ecosystems. "The commission has already acted to curtail black-tailed prairie dog shooting." "It's time to extend that protection to prairie dogs in western Colorado so that the prairie dog ecosystem can be safeguarded across the state," added Nicole Rosmarino, Endangered Species Coordinator for Forest Guardians.

Ferrets are being reintroduced near the Conservancy's Matador Ranch Black-footed ferret B lack-tailed prairie dogs once lived in colonies that stretched across an estimated 100 million acres of the Great Plains. Black-footed ferrets were one of their primary predators. Both species drastically declined with human settlement. Today, the Conservancy’s Matador Ranch and the surrounding prairie of southern Phillips County are a focal point for ferret/prairie dog recovery efforts. Plans call for the release November 9, 2001 of 20 young ferrets from a captive breeding facility onto Bureau of Land Management land leased by the Matador Ranch. "We’re very excited to be part of a team that’s made a huge commitment to get this work done," says Linda Poole, the Conservancy’s Matador Ranch manager. Poole has been working with the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and a variety of other people on the recovery effort. "This whole effort is a balancing act involving meeting the needs of endangered species, local communities, regulatory agencies, local ranchers, environmentalists, and recreationists. It’s a complex challenge, but we’re making strikes in the right direction," says Poole.

The plan to poison and shoot prairie dogs on federal lands in South Dakota is the result of political pressure to force federal land management agencies to conform to a new state prairie dog plan, due out September 25, that calls for prairie dog eradication within one mile of any adjacent private lands. Over 50% of the prairie dog colonies on Buffalo Gap National Grassland are within a mile of private land and will be subject to poisoning and shooting. (map available at http://maps.big sky.org/pca/buffalo_gap.jpg). The state plan will also apply to private landowners, who could be forced to poison wildlife on their property against their will. The groups bringing the suit include: Biodiversity Conservation Alliance (WY), Center for Biological Diversity (CO), Center for Native Ecosystems (CO), Forest Guardians (NM), Great Plains Restoration Council (SD), The Humane Society of the U.S. (DC and MT), Prairie Hills Audubon Society (SD), and Predator Conservation Alliance (MT).

WESTERN ROUNDUP - December 8, 1997
Completing a prairie ecosystem
by Mark Matthews
Black-footed ferret gets coaxed out into its new home. Mark Matthews
"The ferret will teach us how to survive," " Iron Man said, speaking to a circle of tribal, state and federal officials invited to welcome back the "weasel with black eyes," " released onto the Fort Belknap Reservation in September and October. "(The ferret) will show us how to interact with nature and one another." "
Black-footed ferrets are an important part of the ecosystem because they live in prairie dog burrows and dine on their hosts, keeping prairie dog numbers in check. This, in turn, ensures a diversity of plants which help keep the bison alive on the range. The ferret, say tribal leaders, completes the circle between prairie dogs and bison and re-establishes a relationship to the land.

WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM By mid September, six buffalo will be roaming on the west side of Eola Road - a strange sight for the "city slicker" or even for the "country folk" in this area. Two mothers (they're called cows, I'm told), two daughters of the mothers (yearling heifers), one baby boy (bull calf), an undetermined child (one of the mothers is "in a delicate condition"!) and one father husband (referred to as a buffalo bull - not to be mistaken for Buffalo Bill!) will be attracting attention from everyone passing by. It is expected that this new NAL family will be shipped from Longmount, Colorado, all in September and will be setting up housekeeping in a fenced-in area near the Laboratory Village. The head of the household recently starred in a Frontier Day Parade at Cheyenne, Wyoming, where more than 200,000 people watched him behave like the gentleman he is! Some of the families had been residents of the site area for scores of years. Others were relative newcomers. To honor the former residents of the site and also to provide a historical context, NAL is establishing a museum on the site. It will be located on the former Leon Feldott farm on Batavia Road.

The state says she is a criminal. But activists say she's a '90s freedom fighter. She's leery when it comes to talking about her hobby. So, who's your supplier? I ask. Sarah says she smuggles across state lines. What have you got in your possession right now? That's a touchy subject. Undercover officers have been infiltrating meetings, she says. Sarah and husband, Gregor, both using pseudonyms, have been underground for about 10 years now. If discovered, the duo could face jail time and be slapped with a fine. Damn the consequences, the two say, they are doing the right thing. Sarah agrees to meet. We settle on a neutral location: Willow Glen Elementary playground at dusk. No cops, no wires. Just me and my notebook. Sarah and Greg will be waiting in the parking lot. They'll bring the ferrets with them.

The Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery Program
Mule Pack pup m580 released May 23, 1999. Photo by Janet Reed, USFWS. The Mexican gray wolf ( Canis lupus baileyi ) is the southernmost occurring, rarest, and most genetically distinct subspecies of gray wolf in North America. Mexican gray wolves, or lobos, were once common along the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. They roamed the ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer forests of the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains and extended south and eastward to central New Mexico, western Texas, and northern Mexico. By the early 1900's, however, growing numbers of livestock in the region and fewer and fewer natural prey species resulted in increasing numbers of livestock losses to wolves. Intensive efforts by the federal government were largely successful in eradicating Mexican wolves by the middle of this century. Since then a few wolves have been caught and killed; the last confirmed wild Mexican wolf was reported in the United States in 1970 and in Mexico in 1980.

In early 2002, Conservation Action Network activists sent close to 5,000 messages urging the U.S. Forest Service to develop a strong plan for managing the national grasslands. The plan will affect the future of endangered black-footed ferrets, prairie dogs, burrowing owls, ferruginous hawks, swift foxes, and other wildlife that depend on national grasslands within the globally outstanding Northern Great Plains ecoregion. Once teeming with a mosaic of wildlife, the Northern Great Plains ecoregion has suffered greatly from more than a century of development and agricultural activity. Unfortunately, despite your efforts, the Forest Service adopted an inadequate final plan for managing nearly 3 million acres of the region's grasslands. The plan shortchanges proposed wilderness, opens more wildlife habitat to oil and gas development, and fails to recommend the designation of any Wild and Scenic Rivers. World Wildlife Fund will work instead toward a different vision: we believe that many parts of the Northern Great Plains ecosystem can be restored and can serve as the foundation of a stable economy. Partial Victory on Black-footed Ferret Conservation
Despite sending the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) tens of thousands of messages, Conservation Action Network activists were unable to convince the agency to restrict shooting of prairie dogs, the primary food source for the endangered black-footed ferret. Activists who sent messages to the BLM received a response (copy below) describing the BLM's current shooting restrictions, which we believe are biologically inadequate to allow ferret recovery. BLM's reply also included the disappointing news that the agency would not institute new shooting restrictions, but would instead wait for the state of Montana to consider regulating the shooting of prairie dogs.

Dogs are often more than pets, they are farm workers, hunting companions, guide dogs and some are even used in the work to help threatened species like the kiwi. Dogs are often described as "man’s best friend". But man’s best friend can be the kiwi’s worst enemy. Dogs are natural hunters. Their hunting skills and keen sense of smell can be the death of native birds like the kiwi and little blue penguin. Stray and feral dogs are a danger to native wildlife. Pet dogs that are not controlled can also be pests.

Exotic Animals and Wildlife
Exotic animals and wildlife (skunks, chimpanzees, poisonous snakes, raccoons, etc.) do not make good pets. They can be dangerous. It is illegal to buy or keep them in most states. Owning a young, exotic animal can be a passing fancy. As the animal matures, it can become aggressive and probably will be unhappy in captivity. Owners who find that they can no longer keep an exotic pet usually encounter great difficulty in placing their animals in a new home. Ferrets Wild Animals As Pets Canine Hybrids As Pets Ferrets The AVMA recognizes that ferrets (mustela putorius furo) are being kept as pets and for research purposes. In those states or areas where ferret ownership is legal, the AVMA recommends:
  • Responsible ferret ownership: This includes knowledge pertaining to ferret husbandry (care, nutrition, housing, and species' habits). It is also recommended that no ferret be left unattended with any individual incapable of removing himself or herself from the ferret. Proper veterinary care by a veterinarian legally authorized to practice veterinary medicine: This includes preventive medicine and, when needed, medical or surgical care including spaying, castration, and descenting. Ferrets should be vaccinated against rabies, canine distemper and other diseases for which a licensed vaccine exists for use in ferrets.

    Sadly, Rocky Mountain Animal Defense learned today that the Colorado Supreme Court has denied review of our lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of unmitigated poisoning of prairie dog colonies. RMAD's case alleged that the state needs to do more to protect wildlife on prairie dog colonies from the lethal effects of poisoning. Many species found on prairie dog colonies are protected from poisoning by the state's constitution.
