Who wants to save an ecosystem? Help me out here?

Question

Prairie dogs are an important part of ecosystems on the American Plains. So why is the U.S. government trying to use your tax dollars to kill them?

Tell the Forest Service to stop the prairie dog massacre, before it starts.

Last fall, more than 35,000 activists like you sent comments asking the Forest Service to stop the massacre of tens of thousands of prairie dogs on our National Grasslands.

Prairie dogs provide food for eagles, hawks, badgers, swift fox, endangered black-footed ferrets and other Great Plains predators. Prairie dog burrows provide shelter for burrowing owls, salamanders, black-footed ferrets and many other creatures.

But the Forest Service wants to use your tax dollars to poison and kill tens of thousands of these furry critters and destroy the vital habitat prairie dogs create in our National Grasslands.

Answer 4

Our government does alot of strange things which are difficult to understand if you have a chance read the book Assault on Reason by Al Gore. It is very enlightening.

Hopefully we can fix what is wrong with our government before it is too late and save the unnecessary and needless destruction of our wildlife as well as our planet.

I want the ecosystem to be saved.  This is terrible killing God's creatures by the thousands.

Answer 7

This is very serious!! Why don't you get the WWF involved and international organizations.Public support is important, but do the people know what a prairie dog looks like? Education here is soooo important. I am in South Africa, sorry can't help directly,

Why do they want to kill these animals, have they got out of hand with population growth?, must be an explanation will be interesting to know....
