The BFF video clip found on futureschannel.com is really endearing and has a pretty good history (albeit brief) of the BFF recovery project in CO. overseen by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. One thing that really isn't mentioned, however, is that the same agency (USF&W) that is charged with recovery nowadays is the same agency that oversaw the mass poisonings of the prairie dog towns (and still makes opinion on USFS/BLM agency plans for current poisoning campaigns) that invariably led to the almost extinction of the BFF to begin with. If you can find a small book that came out in 1971 titled "Must They Die, the Strange Case of the Prairie Dog and the Black-Footed Ferret", by Faith McNulty, Doubleday and Co., you will have a chance to read about the bureaucratic bungling that almost cost us our only native ferret. And the saga continues to this very day as at least one National Forest have poisoning plans for Prairie Dogs set for implementation.this after REQUIRED USF&W biological opinion I am sure.
