The Government Wants to Kill Prairie Dogs

Tweet

I belong to the Care2 website..One can join up with scores of groups of issues from all walks of life...to various religious groups, music lovers, etc. Well one of the things I joined up with are the various activists animal groups, like The Defenders Of Wildlife, and I got an e-mail from them that the government is going to issue the okay and go-ahead to purposely kill by poisoning prairie dogs, and they're going to use your tax dollars to do this. what people don't realize is that by killing these animals it will upset the delicate balance of the entire eco-system of the prairies of America. As stated: "....The Forest Service wants to make it easier to poison and kill prairie dogs on the American plains -- risking creatures like burrowing owls, hawks, swift fox, the critically endangered black-footed ferret and the complex balance of life on the American Prairie..." The above animals do eat the prairie dogs as their food ....but in turn, since the prairie dogs will be poisoned so will these animals. I mean what is the sense of this? I love the comment left by one petitioner: "It seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? If any part of the ecosystem is destroyed, can the rest survive?" They do have a petition if you wish to add your name to it..I have http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/144532872
