I read an article where Ron Jurek, California Fish and Game Biologist, stated that "they" knew of the damage ferrets caused in New Zealand, even eating the New Zealand national bird, the Kiwi. What he failed to mention is that the Natinal Bird of the United States, the Bald Eagle would eat ferrets, along with dozens of other predators. In my metro area there are millions of people and lot's of coyotes. We've have Mountain Lions also, not to mention bob cats, foxes, snakes and a number of raptors. I know this isn't news to anyone, it just amazes me, the more quotes I see attributed to Ron Jurek the more I understand why he doesn't work for 48 other state game agencies.
