Just a thought...might work to fight the ignorance that ferrets can 'go wild' F&G is trying to save the BF ferret, which was about to vanish from the prairie. Re-population is failing on an animal that was never domesticated. Why do they think a pampered pet who has poor eyesight and no hunting skills (unless it's sock-shaped or jingly and doesn't fight back) can survive when the wild ones can't?
