Decision

A <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/08/14/build/state/50-pdogs.inc">smart decision</a> by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is making me wonder if somebody over there has recently rented a brain. It wasn't exactly rocket science to see the black-tailed prairie dog was not an endangered species. Anybody who has had any experience with them knows that if not checked they breed themselves out of house and home so they were nowhere near the "brink of extinction." I don't have any of these varmits on my place and I don't plan on having any in the future.

What aims more lofty have they than the prairie dogs? Henry David Thoreau</b>
