This is a great headline. Too bad it’s not entirely accurate. Not entirely, you say?
Recent reports have claimed that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is trying to save endangered ferrets by firing vaccine-laced M&Ms from drones into the animals’ habitats. Though the bizarre-sounding scheme caught the media’s attention, agency officials say the reports are misleading.
Yes, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is investigating drones as a way to distribute vaccinations — but not using M&Ms, and not for ferrets directly, agency officials told Live Science.
So the government plans to use drones to fire vaccines at Ferrets indirectly?
Close enough.
