Donward Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Fishers reintroduced into Washington State. http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/relocated-fishers-steal-show-in-cascade-forest-homecoming/ Stocky, with dark-brown plush fur, fishers are related to mink, otter, badger, wolverine and marten. They are about the size of a cat and have a long, bushy tail, tiny round ears, short legs and a low-to-the-ground carriage as they move. Native to the forests of Washington, fishers prey on small mammals, from mountain beavers to squirrels and snowshoe hare. They are one of the few animals capable of eating a porcupine. That's one vicious little murder machine if you can eat a porcupine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted December 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Speaking of fishers: Also, yes, they're fairly close relatives of wolverines, so in other words tough little buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yeah, we have Fishers up here. They are elusive and apparently freaking vicious little death machines. I've only ever seen dead ones that were trapped, or at a zoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hippies ruin everything XXXVIII Toxicants on marijuana farm threaten weasel communities Fishers, or mid-sized weasels, can be found in two areas of California: the southern Sierra Nevada and in northern California. Recently, there has been a cultivation of numerous illegal marijuana grow sites close to the natural habitats of the fishers, which are subsequently wiping out the population due to use of rodenticides.

Donward Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Calling a fisher a "weasel" is like calling a monster truck a "Ford Mustang". Indeed. But journalists must write at a fourth grade level because that is as high a level of understanding that most editors can comprehend.

"All serial killers “started with animals,” she says. “It’s a documented fact."

"Smith equates the ferret deaths with coming home and finding that some fiend had killed “your entire family."
