Send me a picture of said (likely super adorable) puppies and I will provide name ideas at a fraction of the energy expenditure bahahaha 🤣

FRANK!! 💗🦡
He lives at Nature's Kingdom in MI now 🐾

I can't be the only one who read that as "invasive crap" lol

Final: Emmy is a shining example of why the farmed fur trade needs to end. She doesn't belong in the wild, but she doesn't want to settle down as some pet. She's between worlds; friendly to people, a menace to birds, clueless in the face of danger. Sentient. Silly. Raised for slaughter.

7. She was eventually transferred to me in WY. She has proceeded to attempt to give me as much grey hair as possible, including jail-breaking TWICE while here to chase chickens and run feral in the draw with raccoons. She's magic, she's fierce, she's an unrelenting, unapologetic rebel.

6. Emmy (at the time known as Wee) ruled the wildlife hospital for a time, showing zero fear of the other patients, including a golden eagle she decidedly would have attempted to eat if given the chance. She has zero fear and is not great with self-preservation instincts.

5. My mentor, state & federally licensed wildlife rehabber, met with animal control law enforcement (one of which happened to be the man's family member). Laws were cited and reviewed, and AC agreed to go to the man's house & seize the mink. My mentor took legal possession.

4. Myself and several other rescues became involved in trying to save her. I remotely convinced the man I was going to buy her, to stop him from killing or selling her while others worked on legal means to take possession. People had started harassing the man, and we worried he would dispose of her

Emmy takes jail-breaking & luck to new heights.

1. She escaped a fur farm- we will never know how.

2. She chased a man's ducks and was captured.

3. Man tried to knowingly and illegally traffic her, attempting to sell her online as a "ferret". It's not legal to sell mink as a pet w/o USDA lic

Oooo interesting. Saved for a closer look later.

Wyoming is 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙, I don't even know how else to put it.

First territory to allow women to vote, legalized gay marriage before the fed govt did, saved black footed ferrets from extinction.

Filled with bigoted misogynistic a-holes & ranked top 5 worst in the nation for animal welfare.

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't caught some street justice yet.

Whatever the outcome of the trial, his actions have brought more attention and funding to wolf & predator conservation in the last two years than anything else in the last two decades. I hope that thought eats him alive.

I shouldn't have googled that to see what it was 😬 TF is wrong with people

Agreed. From what I understand, Cody's family owns the bar & there is good reason that some of the bar patrons quietly filmed & made sure the footage got out, rather than speaking up in the moment in the bar that night. It probably would have escalated, violently.

Patrons in the bar filmed it & anonymously released the footage and made this POS go infamously viral. It's taken over a year, blood sweat & tears from multiple orgs, and fury from around the world to convince WY to finally bring felony charges against this utter scumbag 🤬

Vile POS. Ran down that wolf with a snowmobile, ran it over, duct taped it's mouth shut, dragged it into a bar, tortured it for hours with a shock collar in the bar, dragged it out back & shot it. Game & Fish quietly said "tsk-tsk", and fined him $250 & tried to keep it quiet. 1/2

Wolfie and Ranger have stayed on as ambassador ferrets here, and have gone to school to meet children with disabilities & teach them about ferrets & mustelids.

Wolfie especially is a top-notch ambassador, being very calm and sweet.
