When my father was a kid in Montana nearly a hundred years ago, the government paid him two cents for each prairie dog tail he brought in. This was part of their eradication program to prevent free range livestock from breaking their legs in prairie dog holes, and curtail prairie dog colonies from destroying planted fields by burrowing and churning up ground and feeding on farmers' crops. He never said how he got them or if he ever made any money. However, he did say his mother made use of every animal he brought her, and that prairie dog "tastes like chicken." The lady in Mike's video would get angry at this past government program. But, people back then did whatever they needed to do to survive. Two cents a tail, a chicken tasty meal, and less holes to create havoc, was a win-win.

The blacktail PD is covering an area from Mexico to Canada and nowhere near extinction.
@zackeryhardy9504
Жыл бұрын
It has a lot to do with the more complicated metrics that are used at measuring animal populations and what is/isn't a sustainable number. Think of it like this. Populations are localized to an area so they can become extinct in a specific area while also being an incredibly common type of animal. For example some African elephants are on the endangered species list, while other areas have so many that they actually hunt them to keep their populations in check. Its not about total numbers. Its about numbers in a specific area and how it affects that area's ecosystem.

Honestly, the only reason to "rescue" Prarie Dogs, is a mental health issue. Yes, you think they're cute, but you're getting a hundred a day? They aren't endangered. It's like me collecting mice, and saving them from my neighbor's yards. Yeah, it's nice to save animals, but at some point, it's just promoting over population. It's actually how you get the plague.
