Persecuted prairie dogs seek a safe haven

Little "dogs" on the prairie get a stay of execution.  Trouble with links or images? View this message online. July 27, 2010 Prairie Dogs Find Much-Needed Champions Dear Anne, Prairie dogs die slowly -- over hours or days -- when poisoned to clear land for cattle grazing. Charming and social, prairie dogs sustain nine wildlife species, including the endangered black-footed ferret, in grassland ecosystems. They don’t deserve this agonizing death. I just kicked off a complex project in Wyoming to save prairie dogs. This team effort with the U.S. Forest Service and other wildlife groups will humanely move hundreds of these adorable creatures from a poisoning zone to a protected grassland. Please get to know this fascinating species through this slideshow and story. I'll update you soon -- with more pictures -- on our progress in saving prairie dogs.   Lindsey Sterling Krank Director, the Prairie Dog Coalition The Humane Society of the United States Humane Choice Humane Choice organic dog food is now available at PetFoodDirect.
