Normally the Ferret Friends Disaster Response Intenational network responds only to natural disasters. However we have come upon information regarding the black footed ferret situation in Colorado which we cannot ignore. Let it be known - we find the situation of the proposed release of the elderly breeding pairs of Native North American Black Footed Ferret into the badlands of North Dakota to be deplorable. On Friday March 19th 1995 I placed a call to Ms. Sharon Rose at 303-236-7904 (Ms. Rose is Mr. Ralph Morgenweck, Director, Region 6, Denver , Colorado Fish and Wildlife Services. Public Relations Director). Ms Rose was not in the office but the secretary promised she would have Ms. Rose return the call. On Monday March 22nd 1994 I will again attempt (and reach) Ms. Rose to advise her of the Ferret Friends Disaster Response Internationals view of the proposed release (due June 1 1994). If you are concerned about this situation I invited you to join me in inundating Mr. Morgenwecks office with phone calls requesting the proposed release not take place and review of the BFF Living Care Center be reviewed again.
