Did you watch the black-footed ferret kit Peanut grow up with his mom Georgia on the Smithsonian web cam last summer? Maybe you donated a few dollars to give the FML naming rights. Have you been to one of the Symposiums or other ferret events where Travis Livieri shared his dedication and passion for these animals? Did you catch the Nature program "The Loneliest Animals" on PBS Sunday night, with Paul Marinari of FWS talking about the captive breeding program? Perhaps you were lucky enough to get a behind the scenes tour of the bff facilities in Fort Collins, or Louisville or Toronto. If any of these apply to you, or even if they don't, go here: http://community.intuit.com/contests/czOXatsU0qllvkab8P4pmk and read and vote for Travis's story as inspiring, useful and funny. Do it by Friday. It will only take a couple minutes of your time, and you can help Travis win $5,000 or even $25,000 to save the black-footed ferrets and their habitat. It's a little enough price to pay back for the joy this amazing little animal has given us. The black-footed ferrets will thank you. Linda [Posted in FML 6310]
