Enough being nice. Fuck ranchers! Vice-President Dick “Blow Your Face Off” Cheney has enabled aerial hunting of wolves in Wyoming - such a chicken-shit thing to do. But ranchers have long been poisoning prairie dogs warrens as well. I was welcomed to the Arctic Circle by a friendly arctic ground squirrel, a cousin of these creatures, so I have a different perspective anyway. Watch the video, won’t you?

clipped from www.britannica.com Prairie dogs excavate elaborate burrow systems with many entrances marked by low or volcano-shaped mounds. The common black-tailed (C. ludovicianus) and Mexican (C. mexicanus) species live in large, dense colonies that early explorers described as “towns.” Natural predators of prairie dogs include badgers, wolves, coyotes, bobcats, black-footed ferrets, golden eagles, and large hawks. Once abundant, prairie dog populations have been drastically reduced in range and number by poisoning programs of ranchers who have considered them as pests and by conversion of habitat to cropland. The black-tailed prairie dog (C. ludovicianus) is the most widespread, living throughout the Great Plains from Canada to northern Mexico
