I think this is Mr. Turner's address: [log in to unmask] Letters of encouragement would be a great thing. But just so everyone is aware: Ted is trying to recreate the whole food chain. He is also wanting to re-introduce wolves and bears. (Ferrets would be prey for wolves) I think he is actually trying to restore the ecosystem by reintroducing preditors and prey. (the way it should be) on the Black-Footed Ferret: The special pointed out that they had gotten all the way to the brink of extinction. I think this has happened twice. I remember a special on these lovely critter when they were discovered alive in hte 70's. Until that poin nt we thought htey were gone. If this re-introduction to the wild does not work(goddess forbid) would it be possible to cross breed for the markings? They looked and acted like my girls except for the markings. I would hate to think that the buety of those critters would be lost forever.
