freegal1776, Thank you! meercats are just what I thought. Ignorent people kill what they don't understand. They always have.

Because they seemed to be harmful to cattle with their holes, cattlemen tried to irradicate them, much like they do today with wolves, cougars and wild horses.
Dorania
Word "prairie" suggests the answer.

Player #3366575, but it was in the 19th century which saw the Prairie Dog nearly wiped out. Because of their burrows and their eating habits the ranchers almost wiped them out. 😑

Sarah, the fact that there are ppl who consider killing animals a sport is horrendous! humans are SO asleep!
GraceSpace

Here in Wyoming they are a shooting sport. Easy to hunt because they also eat their dead.
Danielle
Here in Colorado, prairie dogs are notorious for carrying plague. So, we avoid them as such!!
