CO Wildlife Commission rejects prairie dog hunt ban
May 3, 2008 | Tagged Colorado Wildlife Commission, gun rights, hunting ban, prairie dogs |
According to newspaper accounts (Search on Colorado Wildlife Commission, prairie dogs) the Wildlife Commission voted unanimously last Thursday in a Grand Junction meeting to reject the WildEarth Guardians’ petition to ban prairie dog shooting in the state. The Guardians have also filed suit to stop the employment of Colorado Hunters to thin the overpopulated elk herd in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The shooting ban hearing was dominated by farmers and ranchers who fight constant battles against prairie dogs that ruin crop land and cripple horses, cattle, and other range animals. The issue is not settled. Look for the Humane Society, the WildEarth Guardians, and other anti-hunting/anti-gun rights groups to pursue the matter in court or with ballot initiatives. These folks will do anything they can to end hunting, fishing, and legal firearms ownership. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
