Advancing Prairie Dog Protections
Currently, Colorado labels Prairie Dogs as "destructive rodent pest" and as a "nuisance "species. Prairie Protection Colorado is working on challenging the listing of prairie dogs under the nuisance wildlife laws in Colorado. Prairie dogs are scientifically recognized as a keystone species of the prairies and is clearly not a nuisance. By labeling the prairie dog as a "destructive rodent pest" and allowing this species to be classified as a "nuisance" species, prairie dogs are disqualified from any animal cruelty laws or protections and encourages and allows for the poisoning, shooting and reckless slaughter of their families and prairie communities. Changing this label that has been placed upon the prairie dog would enforce changes across the state that would require their protection.
Working to Ban Rodenticides
Prairie Protection Colorado is working to ban rodenticides which are used to kill prairie dogs and other rodents. These pesticides also find themselves into the food chain killing raptors, and compromising foxes and coyotes. This ultimately makes them extremely vulnerable to horrible diseases like mange, a parasitic skin infection. If not treated, this disease is fatal. Worth noting it is currently illegal to treat coyotes and foxes for mange. Prairie Protection Colorado sees this as an important issue to tackle for the safety of our state's prairie dogs and predators.
