Thanks to efforts by proud Americans like you, most of the country knows and understands why we are at war with the animals. It wasn’t a war we wanted, but it’s one we will finish. Unfortunately, a judge in Kansas just doesn’t get it.
Logan County, Kansas had had enough of prairie dogs digging around, making holes and looking all cute-like. They decided to round up the enemy, and sentence them to death. The varmints were sitting on death row when a species traitor pointed out that executing the prairie dogs would be a violation of the Endangered Species Act. The hippie judge agreed, granting the enemy combatants a stay of execution. It’s Bleeding Kansas all over again.
(Yes, we do those kinds of references here, too.)
