Help Save the Prairie Dogs in Lawton!

[Joey Liberal]

The City of Lawton has decided to poison the majority of the Prairie Dogs in a local park. Those Prairie Dogs are a major attraction in that park. If they are over populated, many of them could easily be relocated. But no, city officials simply want to poison them with no regard for the ecological consequences. They are turning a beautiful park into a pet cemetery.


Please go to the attached website and electronically sign your name to
the petition that will be taken to the City Council meeting on 13 March
2007. Those remaining Prairie Dogs need your HELP! Please tell your
friends and family so that they can be afforded the opportunity to
support this worthy cause..

It's a damn shame, because Lawton could be a great place.
