BOULDER, Colo.—Boulder city officials plan to relocate hundreds of prairie dogs and kill hundreds more that can’t be moved to new sites.
The $388,400 plan will be presented to the City Council Tuesday. The plan calls for moving 500 prairie dogs from the site of a new city park and relocating another 50 from around a new fire training center.
Between 200 and 300 prairie dogs will be killed if no new homes can be found for them. As many as 250 more living at the site of toxic waste ponds from old industrial operations will be killed.
City officials say the Colorado Division of Wildlife has told them that the rodents living on top of the toxic waste ponds can’t be relocated.
