The “Non Profit” can seek another funding source besides the US taxpayer.

EC

How do they come up with “stories” like this?

They are going to use whatever they can to blame Trump for their own fault. The ferrets will do just fine if left alone, but they do bear some resemblance to dems who are actually weasels.

US Fish and Wildlife agency is woke as you can get. Watched a friend go woke overnight after working with them for less than a year. This was back in the 70’s. Imagine now!

I thought darwinists loved evolution?

” Survival of the fittest “ and all.

Besides, never believe a commie greenie wildlife biologists population numbers until verified by a forensic level audit.

“ This is the time of year when kits would typically leave their parents and make a living on their own”

This has to be satire………..

Yep. A dozen or so volunteers with pickups could go dump the precious ferrets out at the chosen sites. Wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime.

“Make them feel the pain!” is the Dem agenda.

Seems like a great time for Trump to thin the herd. If we can go on without the federal ‘workers’ then just ax them forever.

Time to DOGE it up a bit during this shutdown.

So these animals can’t survive in the wild?

That’s up there with the “don’t feed the bears or they will get used to and won’t be able to care for themselves” signs.

I'm surprised he hasn't moved. I hope it wasn't just a threat.

We have WAY too many fed employees.
