Poisoning Prairie Dogs, Killing Ferrets!

Last Chance to Protect Black-footed Ferrets!

I just took action to protect black-footed ferrets.

SPEAK UP FOR FERRETS:
http://online.nwf.org/protectferrets



The U.S. Forest Service has proposed a dangerous plan to poison prairie dogs in the Conata Basin in South Dakota--a move that would simultaneously put the habitat of the endangered black-footed ferret at risk. About half of the wild ferrets in the world live on the Conata Basin.

Please write the Forest Service and tell them that they should give their highest priority to the ferret recovery effort and not to the complaints of a small handful of ranchers grazing their cattle on public lands and their supporters. .

I am a huge ferret fan and have been working to protect them for years. Thanks for spreading the word out there to others.
