Hello world,
Crisis has struck the Canary Islands. The ferrets are used by the locals to hunt rabbits. Some have escaped and are running amok on the island. The worry is that they will kill off some of the native species. The laurel pigeon and the Eurasian woodcock are in particular danger, since they breed on the ground. The lizard Gallotia galloti palmae is also in trouble. The Enviromental Ministry of the Island Council of La Palma has recommended that all ferrets be used with a muzzle and that the public be warned about the dangers of these mustelids. This is yet another sad case of an invasive species running amok. The officals should get the information out about these animals. If nothing is done, the islands will be completely overrun.
