Those cute little critters, again

Faithful readers may have noticed we have developed a big-time crush on prairie dogs. We raved about Terry Tempest William's new book which is 1/3 prairie love. We showed cute photos of prairie dogs kissing in an attempt to thwart Salazar's confirmation as Secretary of the DOI. And today, we're going to link to this story in the Washington Post, regarding management of the little charmers.

WildEarth Guardians says in its report to be released Monday that North America's five species of prairie dogs have lost more than 90 percent of their historical range because of habitat loss, shooting and poisoning.

It grades three federal land management agencies and a dozen states on their actions over the past year to protect prairie dogs and their habitat.

Not one received an A.

Must. Do. Something. Soon. To. Protect. The. Prairie. Dog.

Got it?
