'is that a ferret' post update

It has now been disclosed after a perfectspy Freedom of Information Act request, that not only are Fish, Game and Wildlife agencies in several western states releasing "thug" populations of vicious Black Footed Ferrets into local peace-loving Prairie Dog compounds, they are training and releasing a species of desert ground mouse that is adept in the operation of a miniature automatic rifle with accompanying grenade launcher and infrared sights.


Pictured here, the desert ground mouse cuddles a modified AK-47 that fires a subsonic, nuclear-tipped, ground penetrating round at up to 2,450 feet per second. Ground mice combatants (or GMC in military parlance), were first released in the Big Horn Wilderness area in Wyoming to counter camper complaints of chipmunk harrassment.
They're success in that campaign lead to training for Prairie Dog burrow-to-burrow combat. Initial reports indicate a high ground mouse kill ratio (GMKR). Additional mice have been called up to determine potential success factors (PSF). We will follow this story closely and bring you the news as it breaks.
