"The Pennsylvania Game Commission is looking to reintroduce a mammal that is rarely seen in the forests of Pennsylvania: the American Marten.
The Marten are small and agile members of the weasel family, according to the ZooAmerica website. They prefer mixed wood forests, which provide important prey habitat, protection from predators as well as denning sites. They are considered omnivores and feed off berries and insects as well as small mammals and birds."

I'm glad to see them doing this. The comments I've seen regarding this from the hunting community are pretty sad, to be honest. They often speak of how this will be the end of small game in the state, Of course, then again, what do I expect at this point?
As someone else on here said before, these people simply want to be the sole and exclusive predators of game species, and they're not willing to share that position with canids, felids, and in this case, mustelids.
