I see both sides to the prairie dog situation. They needed to be removed from the Vance Brand Airport or they would loose major money. The way the city went about it is pretty good. Sure they could have had a prairie dog "pop" off and had a contest for the person who shot the most. This would have upset the pro prairie dog crowd, who want to save them and let them free, no matter what the cost. Could the city have done this cheaper? Sure, but I feel they did a good job of compromising a sensitive matter. Now the prairie dogs are removed, dead yes, but as humanly as possible and they will be used to help feed birds of prey in captivity. (Lets face it, that's part of what prairie dogs are used for in the wild anyway.) I think the city nailed it. Good job guys.
