All animals including prairie dogs have a right to live and to be free from human-imposed suffering. Prairie dogs have families, raise pups, and interact socially. What’s more, when prairie dogs suffer, many other animals suffer, too, because (1) prairie dog burrows even in urban environments are homes for rabbits, salamanders, snakes, and burrowing owls, to name just a few, and (2) prairie dogs serve a vital prey function.
