DENVER — Gas drilling is on hold for now in a part of northwest Colorado that's home to the endangered black-footed ferret.

The Interior Board of Land Appeals last week overturned the sale of oil and gas leases where ferrets have been released as part of the federal government's efforts to restore the weasel-like animals.

SO a fucking WEASEL is MORE IMPORTANT than drilling for natural gas? no wonder this country is getting it's ASS KICKED economically

It is to the tree huggers

  Catch them and relocate them back to Wyoming, they were the ones who reintroducted them.......  black footed ferret...they are    mammals who are related to the polecat.

I hope you're being sarcastic. 

Actually the O&G industry in Colorado has had pretty much free reign to do whatever they have wanted to do for the past 50 years.

 

If I (my company) owned the mineral rights and I wanted to put a pump jack 175 ft from your back door I could.

 

In fact we were involved with a land owner (not the mineral owner) who did just that to get back at a next door neighbor he hated.

 

Most companies work around animal restrictions.  Some areas are off limits to our drilling during eagle nesting time.  Most O&G people have no problem with it.....we actually like critters...that's one of the reasons we live out here in the first place.

 

if he was a cattle rancher he was probably talking about "protecting his shit" FROM ferrets, prairie dogs and other varmints.
