Don't Poison More Prairie Dogs
Target: Forest ServiceSponsored by: Care2
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 and the critically endangered black-footed ferret.
Prairie dogs play an essential role in the plains ecosystem. Already there may be too few prairie dogs in the National Grasslands to sustain local populations of some of the animals that depend on them, including burrowing owls, swift fox, and the endangered black-footed ferret.
Wildlife management should be based on science, not on politics. The ability to poison is limited by the current Nebraska National Forest Management Plan to avoid the temptation for managers to cave into pressure from grazing lessees and politicians seeking private gain from public lands at the expense of wildlife. Do not remove this safety net by amending the plan to allow poisoning anywhere on the Grasslands!

Poisoning is THE worst thing you can do for wildlife management and environmentally. This is not only irresponsible and short-sighted, but inhumane. Toxic chemicals leach into the earth poisoning ground water, make animals that prey on these dead animals ill, and leaves harmful toxins in the environment that WE ALL are affected by! Newborns have been found to have 200 CHEMICALS in their cord blood at birth due to all of the substances we eat and breathe. YOU can control this! Start now!

Just what is the purpose of this destruction? You should be ashamed of yourselves. People who would sink so low are despicable. These animals are God's creations. We do not have the right to destroy what God has placed. I would pray that God will destroy the destroyers.
