Save the...Ferret?

i just saw a breaking headline on msnbc. it said, "plague threatens last of ferrets".

"The plague, which is carried by fleas, is the biggest danger to ferrets' survival in the Conata Basin and other sites that still have ferrets, said Larson, who is coordinating ferret conservation efforts among five federal agencies.

"It has the capacity to take out more ferret habitat than anything we've run up against, and do it in such a short order," Larson said. "For ferrets, it's the most challenging issue we face."

i....well...i have no idea what to say.

but...

HAHAHAHAHAHA! (where's melonhead when you need her??)
