Dear FML family,
 
Please check out the following info on blackfooted ferrets and other
species, as well, if interested.  There are some real concerns and a need
for letter-writing ASAP.  Also the Fish and Wildlife Service is
slaughtering the very wolves they claim to be reintroducing just north of
Yellowstone National Park.  More info.  can be found at:

Thanks for caring.  This is an excellent source of information on animal
issues, and a good place to raise awareness for our fuzzies and their needs
and abuse-issues, such as the situation with Mike Tyson and his ferrets!
