I don’t think there’s any shortage of prairie dogs.

According to the USFWS prairie dogs have been removed from 98% of their habitat. They are also a keystone species that provide for habitat and resources for a variety of other organisms. When will people realize you cannot constantly alter poorly understood food webs without creating unmitigatable situations in the future. Are you aware that native grazers and browsers (pronghorn, bison) favor areas inhabited by prairie dog? No shortage of bison either - they're all gone.
