BLM Relocates Satanta Prairie Dogs After Club Appeal
The BLM Amarillo Field Office on May 9 chose to trap and relocate about 186 prairie dogs from the Satanta Crude Helium Maintenance site in Haskell County rather than euthanize them, following concerns raised by the Kansas Chapter of the Sierra Club. The farm owner declined disclosure of location, while officials estimate 200 to 300 could be saved. The decision cites environmental risks from poison and aims to humane relocation.
