Endangered, Prairie dogs?

Another sob story from the animal right activists who have no concept or understanding of health issues or the environment.

In the Rocky Mountain News today an article states that the Prairie dog is soon to become an endangered species. I find this extremely hard to believe.

WildEarth Guardians argued that these little rats need to be protected from the following

* converting habitat to cropland
* urbanization
* oil, gas and mineral development
* plague
* recreational shooting
* livestock grazing.

Who are Wild Earhters? Well they are The Wild Earth Guardians of coarse. A group that in itself abuses the wilderness they claim they want to save.

Wild Earth Guardians' mission is to protect and restore the wildlife, wild places and wild rivers of the American West.

If you read the bios on the staff page of their website

You will find that the majority of these people are outdoor enthusiast. Which is all fine and dandy. Yet they are severely misleading people as to who they are. They are activist who fall into the same category as those who break international law as animal planet promotes as sea Shepard's in their new series called WHALE WARS.

One needs to understand where they are coming from and that they are wanting to impose their beliefs and opinions upon the rest of us. While dictating the way we live and inter act with the environment. You need not look any further then their statement that Prairie dogs need to be protected from the plague to see they do not understand things.

Prairie dogs are rodents and they carry the plague. Any one remember an historical thing called the Black Plague. The one that ravaged Europe? It was brought on by rats. Rats who are strongly related to the Prairie dog. A wild rat.

Though one can say that they are trying to pursue a noble cause, it must be concluded that they have no idea nor concept of what they are saying.



I am watching.
