Over one hundred prairie dogs that live next to the Harvest Junction Village neighborhood in Longmont will likely be killed in March after the Homeowners Association board voted to move forward with an extermination plan.
The HOA board is giving activists and community members who don’t want the animals to be killed until March 1 to move the colony, but activists say that timeline is impossible.
“This rushed decision disregards both resident input and the humane, cost-effective solutions that are available if the board delays extermination,” Longmont prairie dog advocate Jaime Fraina says in a statement.
