I'm voting for the praire dogs. We have some really skilled fisherman. The little doggies may just lose like the Rats in the last election.

Just a little info. on prairie dogs in Colorado. I have a degree in Wildlife Biology and will share some facts with you all.
Colorado has abour 250,000 acres of prairie dogs. for every acre we have wiped outin the past, the dogs have taken over another acre. They cannot be controlled and breed like crazy. They are carriers of fleas that carry the plague. EVERY year we have cases of the plague here due to contact with prairie dogs.
We have tried avery way in the world to get rid of them. Poison, bulldozers, hunting, all have failed to reduce their numbers. Fishing sounds like something good to try.
If you were a landowner paying property taxes on acres and acres of worthless prairie dog towns you might think differently. If you want a few dogs come on out with your PETA buddies and rescue a few.
