The intellectual dishonesty of this, is that all rodents carry bubonic plague.
I was born and raised in Aurora, everyone knew that the prairie dogs had plague, it's why you don't touch and play with wild squirrels, etc.
It's only a problem now because they're drawing attention to it. It's only a problem when they need it to be.
Every year this same news is sensationalized…foothills here so no prairie dogs but plenty of squirrels and other rodents. What’s so bad about a little plague between friends eh?
Just wait til they draw everyone's "sudden" attention to TB.
There are about 1.5M (legit) TB infections per year, which almost no one seems to notice or care about........because they haven't been told to, yet.
I had a pet prairie dog at one point and I never had a problem. Maybe them ones up in Broomfield were cleaner than the ones you had in Saudi-Aurora.
And they need something to be right now. Winning
