Round two for prairie dogs! The EPA approved a deadly poison called ROZOL to kill prairie dogs in their burrows, causing them to slowly bleed to death through their skin. And if that's not bad enough, this poison can set off a chain reaction of secondary poisoning that can kill black-footed ferrets (one of the most end...angered mammals in the world) and other imperiled wildlife. Ask the EPA to reverese its deadly decision to approve Rozol and to start doing its job: protecting our environment and the wildlife that depend on it from toxic poisons. Take action before the Friday deadline (November 6th) at http://bit.ly/23IF9RRead More

Prairie dogs have declined by more than 95% across the Great Plains. So why is the EPA even thinking about approving poisons that will speed their decline?
Rozol and Kaput-D cause prairie dogs to slowly bleed to death -- a cruel and excruciating way to die -- and set off a chain reaction of secondary poisoning that can... devastate imperiled animals that are tied to prairie dogs on the food chain, including black-footed ferrets, swift foxes, badgers, golden and bald eagles, burrowing owls and ferruginous hawks.
Help us spare prairie dogs and other wildlife from a cruel and painful death -- and hold the EPA accountable for its role in speeding the decline of imperiled species. The deadline for comments is this FRIDAY, October 23rd, so please take action today!
