The Forest Service is proposing to make it easier to poison and kill prairie dogs anywhere on three public grasslands. They're even targeting an area called Conata Basin -- key habitat for the recently reintroduced swift fox and our nation's most important recovery area for the endangered black-footed ferret. Please send a message opposing this plan today» Hi Fraggle,Prairie dogs are an essential part of ecosystems on the American Plains. So why is the Bush administration trying to use your tax dollars to kill them?Tell the Forest Service to stop the prairie dog massacre, before it starts.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.We only have a few weeks to submit public comments opposing this plan. Please join Care2 and our partners at Defenders of Wildlife and write the Forest Service today to urge them to stop the prairie dog massacre.Why would the Forest Service want to poison so many prairie dogs? Because some ranchers who graze their cattle on federal lands don't like the prairie dogs, and so they are pressuring the Bush administration to kill more prairie dogs on public lands. Help Care2 and Defenders of Wildlife stop the Forest Service plan to poison and kill tens of thousands of prairie dogs. Help protect the balance of life on the American Plains. Americans have invested millions of dollars to save the black-footed ferret from extinction. Black-footed ferrets are the most endangered mammals in North America, and their survival is dependent on prairie dogs.This plan to poison prairie dogs is both inhumane and wasteful - please urge the Forest Service to reject this proposal!
