South Dakota governor declares prairie dogs pests

Article

PIERRE, S.D. - 4/21/05 - Gov. Mike Rounds has signed legislation designating black-tailed prairie dogs a statewide pest based on the population's destruction of the state's grasslands, which are needed to sustain livestock.

PIERRE, S.D. - 4/21/05 - Gov. Mike Rounds has signed legislation designating black-tailed prairie dogs a statewide pest based on the population's destruction of the state's grasslands, which are needed to sustain livestock.

Known as pets to some, prairie dogs are heavy-bodied rodents that live in groups that can range more than 1,000 acres known as prairie dog towns, which can include several million animals. The plan is to poison, trap and shoot prairie dogs in South Dakota's Buffalo Gap National Grassland.

Animal activists opposed the measure.
