Idiotic Colorado Department of Agriculture Considering Request to Approve Use of Poison “Nighthawk” to Kill Prairie Dogs

Proof once again that any state or federal entity that has anything to do with wildlife or agriculture is fully run and indebted to industry and those who hate non-humans (hunters, ranchers, developers, rich guys, etc).

As stated on the petition, “Prairie dogs are a keystone species, meaning countless other animals rely on them.
