The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is supposed to be the agency watching out for our environment and helping to protect our wildlife. But now it has considered approving two new POISONS (Rozol and Kaput-D) to eradicate this already declining species across the Great Plains. As if killing wolves in Yellowstone is not enough, an endangered species. This method of eradication is extremely cruel – it causes the prairie dogs to slowly bleed internally and to die an excruciatingly death. The chemicals also may set off a chain reaction of secondary poisoning that can kill other species in the same territory or within the same food chain, according to Defenders of Wildlife, like ferrets, foxes, badgers, bald eagles, owls and hawks. Please take action now and sign this petition!
