The black footed ferret is protected because of its numbers. There are not as many as there used to be, and they are in danger of becoming extinct. In the past, ferrets dug their tunnels where farmers wanted to farm, so the farmers would find ways to kill the ferrets. This caused a large decline in their numbers. Because they needed protection to help them reproduce successfully, they were placed on the protected species list.
