Montana media outlets have reported that Greg Gianforte announced he would take Donald Trump Jr. on a hunting excursion to shoot Black-tailed prairie dogs in Montana. For prairie dogs, March through June is peak breeding season, which means pregnant, adult females will also be at risk. This is especially disconcerting because Black-tailed prairie dogs have an average of fewer than three pups per year.
“Prairie dogs are an important keystone species with myriad other species dependent on their survival, including the burrowing owl, black-footed ferret and nesting birds. People do not hunt these animals for food or any legitimate wildlife management purposes,” said Lindsey Sterling Krank, director for the Prairie Dog Coalition of The Humane Society of the United States. “We have a duty to protect them to ensure that every species within the ecosystem continues to thrive.”
The Prairie Dog Coalition of The HSUS has long opposed contest shoots and other shooting killing escapades where these creatures are shot for nothing more than target practice. In using high-powered weapons to kill prairie dogs, the animals can seem to explode or have body parts severed and sent flying.

Ingredients
Directions
Clean and quarter prairie dog, pat dry add onions, pepper, salt and garlic as you would any other seasoning.
Place on grill and cook slowly for about 1/2 hour.
Be careful not to over cook.
Note: If you like, you can add smoke chips to add that wonderful out door flavor
What is the daily limit? Two, then shoot two. Easy peasy.
HSUS does not run local shelters or oversee local animal care and control agencies
My grandfather ate them. Said they were tasty.
“The Prairie Dog Coalition of The HSUS”, which consists of one librral loon. I love the way one or two wackos try to make themselves sound important by calling themselves a “coalition”.
Need to be shot in many areas - especially if pregnant.
Eat them? No. They carry the plague and I try to avoid their fleas.
Just call it an abortion. The Libs will support it.
Hey, HSUS! If you like the vermin, put them on your own land. Then, mind your own damn business.

What is the daily limit?
When we were kids there was no limit. But we got a dime for every one and had to cover in the holes.
This investigative news report documents what we’ve always known: the Humane Society of the United States is nothing more than a fat, bloated charade of “animal lovers” who want everyone to lose our pets along any relationship with animals that we might have, whether they are companions, partners, teachers or the source of information or food. Contrary to their claims, HSUS does not support local animal shelters, does not help provide homes to homeless animals, and advocates that no human shall ever breed animals for any reason, whether it’s for medical or scientific research, for conservation purposes, for educational purposes, for food or for companionship.
HSUS is totally corrupt. They kill dogs and cats to "liberate" them from "slavery."

The organization that has absolutely nothing to do with the humane rescue of animals but rather is the front fund raiser that funds all the major left wing environmental activist groups in this country........

” Best of all, there is no limit, and no license required. ‘”

How would someone know a critter is pregnant? Have her pee on a stick and then wait to see the results?
Have your horse step into a prairie dog hole at a canter and break its leg. They don’t appear so cuddly and nice after that.
What if they rather not burden themselves with care of an infant they never wanted?

Anyone know if they still have a Prairie Dog Plague issue wiping out the critters?
