A Guide to Wildlife Law Enforcement in the United Kingdom This document was produced in 1998 and has not been fully reviewed to reflect changes in the law or interpretation that may have taken place since then. 3.6 THE PROTECTION OF BADGERS ACT 1992 3.6.7 Ferrets Rabbits, which can be an attraction to the ferreter, sometimes live alongside badgers. Entering a ferret into a sett is not a specific offence. Expert opinion would be needed to show that a badger was disturbed by the act. Ferrets have a reputation of getting lost underground or killing down (killing a rabbit underground). Having killed down, the ferret may gorge itself on the rabbit and then lay up to sleep it off. If the ferret has killed and eaten, it may lay up for 12 to 18 hours. Electronic locators on a collar are used in ferret work to pinpoint its position underground. Any attempt to dig it out of a sett would obviously be an offence. A cage trap for mink, baited with something smelly ( for example a rabbit paunch), should be placed near the sett. A ferret-carrying box containing food and hay can also be effective in enticing out the ferret. Previous Contents Next Published 26 February 1998 PAW Home Page Defra Home Page

Trivedi National Geographic Today July 11, 2002 Black-footed ferrets, which were listed as endangered in 1967 and were one of the first mammals listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, were already considered extinct by 1979. But in 1981 a ranch dog in northwestern Wyoming killed one that had tried to eat from its bowl. In 1984 a small population was discovered in Meeteetsee, Wyoming, but within a year canine distemper had infected the colony and threatened to wipe out every last ferret. Biologists mounted an emergency effort to rescue the species and snatched 18 of the animals from the jaws of extinction, including the very last known member of the species. All black-footed ferrets bred in captivity in North America are descendents of these 18 animals.

After some stealthy hopping and shimmying your clothes are lying on the tile floor. You consider sneaking into the bedroom to drop them into the hamper. You haven't heard anything from tthere. They must be sleeping. You peek out the bathroom door, looking right and left, then dash into the bedroom. You stumble, but do not turn on the light. It might wake them. With a silent whoop of victory you slam-dunk your dirty clothes into the hamper and smugly begin to return to the bathroom. A long black tail disappears under the bed. You are alarmed, suspicious. What's missing? You look around... "My insole! I'll get you, Sebastian, you rotten weasel!" Your naked butt is sticking up into the air as you reach under the bed to retrieve your stolen insole. A mocking chittering noise issues from beneath the bed. It's too far under for you to reach and he knows it. Maybe you should just let him have it. Chomp!

Return to this issue home page Department: News Biologists release ferrets in Colorado wilderness By Todd Malmsbury Massadona, Colorado. A team of state and federal wildlife biologists has released eighteen black-footed ferrets into the wilderness. The release, the fifth to date this year in the region, was part of ongoing efforts to reintroduce the black-footed ferret to its historic rangeland nearly twenty years after the masked mammal was rescued from the brink of extinction. Biologists from the Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management released three adult female ferrets and fifteen kits in the BLM Wolf Creek Management Area (WCMA), about thirty-five miles southeast of Dinosaur National Monument. The release site is in the remote White River region of northwest Colorado, where extensive prairie dog towns dot a dry, scrubby landscape. The release brings to fifty-eight the number of black-footed ferrets that biologists have released in the area. Recent WCMA releases also included ten wild-born ferrets scientists brought to Colorado from Conata Basin in South Dakota, home of the largest self-sustaining black-footed ferret colony in the United States. The move between South Dakota and Colorado was the first interstate transfer of wild-born black-footed ferrets. Biologists plan to return to the WCMA in early November to assess the well-being of recently released black-footed ferrets in order to learn how the mammals are faring in their new digs. The region is one of the few remaining areas in Colorado where biologists believe ferrets can make a comeback.

To the casual observer, artificial insemination (AI) may appear intrusive, if not downright rude. But as black-footed ferrets ( Mustela nigripes Little Room on the Prairie A half-million or more black-footed ferrets once inhabited wide swaths of the North American grasslands, which stretched unbroken from southern Canada across the western Great Plains to northern Mexico. Until the arrival of white settlers, an estimated one quarter of this vast landscape more than 100 million acres was pocked with prairie dog ( Cynomys sp.) burrows channeled deep into the soil in a maze of tunnels and chambers. The largest prairie dog complex, in Texas, measured 100 miles long and 250 miles wide (more than twice the size of Maryland) and contained perhaps 400 million prairie dogs by one estimate. Ferrets slept, hid, mated, and gave birth in these burrows, and prairie dog meat formed 90 percent of their diet.

The Chief Technical Officer is declaring them unwanted organisms under the Biosecurity Act. Existing pets and farms will be exempt. However, pet owners will be unable to sell, breed, display, release or give away their ferrets. The declaration will come into effect when the Biosecurity Amendment Bill 2001 is passed into legislation. This is an important decision as ferrets are unwanted pests. They kill vulnerable native species, like kiwi and penguins. As potential TB carriers, they risk our farming industry. Pet ferrets can escape to establish breeding populations. They present a biosecurity risk to the all too few ferret-free areas on the mainland and offshore islands. I am aware that some people are very fond of their pet ferrets but as New Zealanders we all have a responsibility to try to ensure the survival of native species only found in our country. This announcement comes after a review of the Regulations under the Wildlife Act, administered by the Department of Conservation, which govern the management of ferrets. The previous Government started this review and I have continued with it. Last year I asked DOC to investigate mechanisms for achieving a ban.

The New Zealand Conservation Authority is a statutory body established by section 6A of the Conservation Act. Its functions and powers are set out in sections 6B and 6C of the Act. In brief, its membership is broadly representative of the New Zealand community, including Maori and those with special interests in public conservation lands, including tourism, local government, conservation and recreational groups. The Authority welcomes the opportunity to make a submission arising from the issue of the discussion document "What can we do about ferrets?" However, it has serious concerns about the form of the document believing it does not take a broad enough view of the issue or the options available. Consequently, it restricts the range of likely responses by structuring the options towards a management option, rather than offering the alternative of banning ferrets outright as a serious pest and a major factor in the rapid decline of our bird species, notably the kiwi and other ground birds. The Authority is unanimously opposed to the sale or keeping of ferrets because of their proven impact as major predators of our native birds.

It is about the size of a mink, reaching nearly 60 centimeters (2 feet) in total length and weighing up to 1.1 kilograms (2.5 pounds). It is buff colored with black legs and feet, a black-tipped tail, and a white face with a dark band across the eyes which forms a distinctive mask. It has short, rounded ears and large black eyes. Ecology Black-footed ferrets prey primarily on prairie dogs and use prairie dog burrows for shelter and raising young. In fact, the ferret's historical range closely coincides with that of three prairie dog species. Ferrets breed in the spring, April to May, with a gestation period of about 42 days. Each female produces a litter of three or four kits on average. They don't mate for life, and the male plays no role in rearing. Kits begin to disperse at about four to five months of age.

Bighorn Sheep Black-footed Ferret A Threatened and Endangered species Description Habitat Status The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) has been considered the most endangered mammal in North America for many years. Although it was probably never abundant, historically the ferret occurred throughout the Great Plains in 12 states and two Canadian provinces, from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains east to Nebraska and from southern Canada south to Texas. Ferrets were occasionally listed in fur company records from the upper Missouri River basin in the early to mid-1800s. The ferret was held in special regard by Native Americans, who used its pelts on headdresses and in religious ceremonies. The range of the black-footed ferret coincides closely with that of three species of prairie dogs on which the ferret depends for food and habitat.

Legalisation of Ferrets in California Ferret Facts Ferrets pose no threat to agriculture or wildlife. All fifty states report that there are no feral populations of ferrets, and no adverse effects on wildlife or agriculture. Recent successful legislative efforts to end the ban on ferrets in both Michigan and Massachusetts had the full support of their respective wildlife agencies. Concerns by veterinarians that prohibition of the domesticated pet ferret is not in the animals' best interests, that unvaccinated animals are not in the public's best interests, and that treatment and vaccination of these animals may lead to a compromise of their licenses, have led the California Veterinary Medical Association to strongly support legalization. Historically the California Department of Health Services has claimed the domesticated ferret is a threat to children. In fact, studies on comparative animal bites from the Journal of the American Veterinary Medial Association and the Center for Disease Control show that the domesticated dog is over 200 times more likely to bite and severely injure a child, or adult, than is a pet ferret on an animal per capita basis. The Center for Disease Control describes ferrets as docile and cat-like. The domesticated ferret has not had a measurable impact on municipal animal control facilities or humane society shelters. Facilities contacted throughout the United States reported an insignificant impact on their resources. If the ability to establish feral populations, overwhelm humane agencies, or inflict bodily harm, were a litmus test for domestic pet ownership, both dogs and cats would be banned ahead of the ferret.

Home News Sports Buffzone ... Obituaries Calendars Arts/Entertainment Business Community Outdoors ... Today's events Ferrets returning to Colorado By Katy Human Camera Staff Writer Forty-five black-footed ferrets will be set loose in northwestern Colorado today by state and federal officials in the first year of a five-year program to bring the prairie dog predators back to the state. Residents of southern Moffat County and northern Rio Blanco County said they're nervous about having an endangered mammal in their back yards. Environmentalists have already criticized the project for what they call "weak" protection for the extremely rare black-footed ferret and its prey, the white-tailed prairie dog. But wildlife biologists said they're thrilled to finally be implementing a plan that's been in development for more than a decade. "We've been planning for this since 1987," said Bob Leachman, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Grand Junction. "As an agency, we have a responsibility to try and recover endangered species." Black-footed ferrets, once thought extinct, have now been successfully reintroduced to Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Arizona and Utah. Today's reintroduction, the first in Colorado, is a cooperative effort by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

Educational use permitted. Black-footed Ferret (Mustela nigripes) Black-footed Ferrets rely on prairie dogs for food and shelter. Scientists estimate that over 100 million acres of western rangelands were occupied by prairie dogs in the early 1900's. Much of this area was also occupied by Black-footed Ferrets. Ferrets hunt mostly at night, so they are rarely seen. They live in burrows made by prairie dogs. It takes about 100 acres of prairie dog colony to support one ferret family (a female and her young). Predators such as owls, eagles, hawks, coyotes, badgers, foxes, and bobcats are the main cause of death for wild ferrets. Date of Listing: Endangered, 1967 Reason for Concern: Black-footed Ferrets are endangered because much of the shortgrass prairie habitat on which the ferrets depend has been plowed for crops. Prairie dogs, which are the ferrets' main food, have been reduced in number due to habitat loss and disease. Prairie dogs have been killed because they eat grass used by livestock or winter wheat grown as a crop. Size: 18 to 24 inches long Diet: Prairie dogs make up 90% of the diet Habitat (where it lives): Shortgrass prairies
