Did I mention we have gophers,I gather the same thing as your prairie dog,if they are having such a problam with them its because they have NO natural predetors,even here the gophers get out of hand,if the yotes can't eat them all,human predetors take over,but eradicating ANY species is wrong in my books.Anybody want to buy some Yotes :wink:
Prairie dogs and pimples have a lot in common--they both desecrate the terrain on which they inhabit. If you were a zit-faced teenie-bopper, would you want to eliminate all of your pimples or just some of them? :???: :? :wink:
Lol,cute analogy Soap.But hardly the same thing,if everyone in the world eradicated pimples we'd still be alive,not so with the eradication of a species.
I'm hoping I'm not coming across as a bunny hugger,I'm trying to make the point ranchers are the best at looking after thier lands and animals,we fight to keep our natural grass that way,in it are certain grasses,wild flowers that are never seen in a land thats cultivated. We're losing more and more of this precious commodity.Its the same with animals that are natural to a area.
The gopher-prairie dog problam seems to me is a problam with not enough natural predetors,if the yotes and wolves had natural foods{like the gopher} our cows and calves won't be bothered....well kind of like ours aren't. :wink:
