How would reintroducing the black footed ferret reduce the plague ? It's not stated in that link.

Reducing prairie dog concentrations, and most often killing the weaker slower ones, which are likely infected and showing the most symptoms.

Reduces spread and increases evolutionary pressure to increase resistance and possibly even become immune.

They reduce the density of prairie dogs.

  • Wouldn’t the end up floating into the air?

    • Where they are eaten by bald eagles. What more American solution could we ask for? I mean, aside from using the floating doggies for target practice.
