Extractions: Testimony of Cathy Carlson Director, Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Center National Wildlife Federation Boulder, CO Before the House Resources Committee Greeley, CO July 24, 1999 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, my name is Cathy Carlson, Director of the National Wildlife Federation's Natural Resource Center in Boulder Colorado. The National Wildlife Federation is the Nation's largest conservation education organization, whose mission is to educate, inspire, and assist individuals and organizations of diverse cultures to conserve wildlife and other natural resources, and to protect the Earth's environment in order to achieve a peaceful, equitable and sustainable future. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to appear before the Committee today to discuss the successes we have experienced here in Colorado under the federal Endangered Species Act and our concerns with other species in the state that appear to be in need of special management attention. Coming to Greeley is particularly advantageous for me, because it gives me the opportunity to try, once again, to find my grandfather's homestead near Masters, Colorado. This is the ranch house my father and several uncles were born in. My Colorado roots date back to the mid-1800's in the state. The National Wildlife Federation has been intimately involved in numerous efforts to conserve threatened and endangered species here in Colorado, in Wyoming, and throughout the United States and internationally. We are excited to see, 25 years after passage of the Endangered Species Act, several success stories in the recovery of species on the brink of extinction.

Introduced diseases and a century of prairie dog control have brought it to the brink of extinction. With the death of the last of nine captive ferrets at Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in 1978, most people feared the species had become extinct. Then in 1981, hopes were buoyed by discovery of a new population near Meeteetse, Wyoming (129 ferrets observed over a five-year period). Unfortunately, these ferrets, and the prairie dogs on which they preyed, were soon ravaged by sylvatic plague and canine distemper. Again fearing extirpation of the species, biologists rounded up the 18 survivors. These became founders of a captive population that today numbers close to 300. For safety, these ferrets are now housed in nine facilities in six states and Canada.

Additional Ferrets
Even as other federal agencies continued to eradicate prairie dogs, the Fish wildlife Service promoted a major survey to find a few more living ferrets.
http://www.vernal.com/sept7/fr.ferrets.p1.html

Extractions: During a survey of Coyote Basin last week by DWR officials, 8 adults ferrets were located and three kits representing two litters. Although some of the ferrets released last October had radio collars, the radios only transmitted for 30 days. The release area or primary management areas is 50,000 acres. The primary reason the Coyote Basin has been chosen for the release is its abundance of prairie dogs, a ferrets primary food source. This last hope for the ferret soon waned due to a new set of government blunders. First, federal agents threatened to prosecute the owner of the dog who found the ferret, thus discouraging other people from reporting other ferrets in the area. Biologists found one colony of about 50 ferrets but many believe that local residents had seen, but did not report, other ferrets.

Currently they inhabit large portions of the North and South Islands, especially those areas with moderate to high numbers of rabbits. Mycobacterium bovis was first isolated from wild ferrets in 1982 and they have been extensively studied to determine their role in the maintenance and spread of bovine tuberculosis. Recently, ferrets from the North and South Islands were identified with lesions in mesenteric lymph nodes and livers that contained acid-fast staining bacteria. The histological picture of these cases was not typical of that seen in ferrets infected with M. bovis

The National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center is the linchpin in captive breeding and reintroduction of the ferret, a member of the weasel family that declined dramatically with the eradication of its chief prey, the black-tailed prairie dog, from land used for agriculture and development. "I think it's a worthwhile effort to try to save the black-footed ferret. They're part of the natural balance on the prairie," said Sen. Wayne Allard, a Republican from Loveland who was among the government representatives turning shovels of grassland where the new center will be built. Allard helped procure $1.8 million in federal funding for the center's relocation from Wyoming to Colorado. Mike Lockhart, director of the National Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center, said wildlife managers sought a new site because the current center isn't big enough. The site near Fort Collins is ideal, he said, because it is in the ferret's native range and can accommodate 100 large outdoor pens that will include prairie-dog colonies. It also offers easy airport access and is close to the labs and offices of other wildlife agencies and researchers.

Extractions: Wildlife does not normally get named as it is not here to stay but we think in this case a name is appropriate as Pigeon seems quite happy and settled. Where she came from no one knows, she must have flown in but since she arrived she has not taken to the air again. Of course she might have just been "dumped" here, but "dumps" usually arrive in cardboard boxes and anyway we sort of became aware of her during the day, not first thing in the morning. She was terribly thin when she arrived but soon gained weight steadily.

Pet Or Pest Fact Sheet
Unfortunately the ferrets became an even bigger pest to native wildlifeand they can also spread disease to farm animals and people.
http://www.kcc.org.nz/pests/petorpest.htm

Extractions: Pet or Pest? Laws True Stories Resources Cats and dogs are part of the family in many New Zealand homes - they are loved pets, but they are predators of native wildlife and they can also be pests. When mammal predators were brought to New Zealand by people they hunted native species, particularly birds and big insects. The populations of some native species fell, some species became extinct and many species have become endangered. (For examples read True Stories C S Dogs are often more than pets, they are farm workers, hunting companions, guide dogs and some are even used in the work to help threatened species like the kiwi. Dogs are often described as "man’s best friend". But man’s best friend can be the kiwi’s worst enemy. Dogs are natural hunters. Their hunting skills and keen sense of smell can be the death of native birds like the kiwi and little blue penguin. Stray and feral dogs are a danger to native wildlife. Pet dogs that are not controlled can also be pests.
Ferret Ban In New Zealand
With these other threats to wildlife, I don't see how banning petferrets will significantly reduce the loss of native species.
http://exoticpets.about.com/library/weekly/aa041102a.htm

Extractions: Ferret Ban in New Zealand Pet Ferrets Banned in the Name of Conservation Join the Discussion "Now our beloved pets will be made illegal, we will no longer be able to gather socially or have fun days together. This is in an entire country, 1,000's of miles away from any other - so we have no option to go elsewhere with our little friends. Think of us in our fight for our furry friends!" Ferret owners in New Zealand are facing regulations that are ultimately intended to make pet ferrets extinct in New Zealand. In the past, a license was required in order to breed or sell ferrets, or to keep more than 3 ferrets as pets (there were also some localized restrictions on ferret ownership). Under new regulations, owners will be able to keep their current ferrets . However, it will be illegal for ferrets to be "bought, sold or bred." Existing farms that sell ferrets overseas will be exempted and allowed to continue overseas sales (no ferrets are to be sold in New Zealand), and no new farms will be allowed. With the breeding and selling of ferrets stopped there will theoretically be a decline in the population of pet ferrets to zero over the next several years.
