But seriously:
And Saskatchewan's gopher population is expected to peak this year because of a lack of snow. Usually run-off from the spring melt flows into gopher dens and drowns many of the animals.
Ok, so rather than give these little furry rats a quick, painless death, they humanslast activists would rather see them contract diseases, dying a slow painful death...and the ones that survive would presumably die a slow painful death next spring during the snowmelt...what a bunch of morons.
Speaking of smelling varmint poontang:
"A sharing attitude might be the first thing," said Crosland, who suggests fencing, crop rotation and relocation.She calls the gopher derby a barbaric bloodbath, word of which will leave a stain on the province's pastoral image.
If she really wants a stain on the pastoral image, don't hold the derby and see what kinds of creeping crud infect the gophers and any other living thing that comes in contact with them when the population gets too big this summer...
