we have an issue with prairie dogs in southern utah. problem is, federal government only counts prairie dogs on federal lands to determine if they're a viable species or not. prairie dogs are abundant on private and state lands that you can get a permit to hunt them on private land. nonetheless, the fact dollar an abundance of prairie dogs, rural electric -- the rural elect rake co-op down there had to spend $150,000 to airlift transmission lines to build their transmission lines so they went over federal habitat for prairie dogs even though other people were hunting prairie dogs that happened to be on the private property. this is silly. this is unrealistic. this should not take place if we were actually having a commonsense approach to it. the bladder pod up in franklin county, washington, was threatened to be listed on the endangered species list. a local university came up with a study that proved the d.n.a. of this bladder pod was no different than another flower that was not endangered in that area. nonetheless, fish and wildlife
