Jaime Fraina walks almost every day along Left Hand Creek in Longmont, where he enjoys a little fresh air and nature. Fraina particularly likes seeing the prairie dogs, which he often sees calling to each other, poking their heads out of the ground or relaxing in the sun.
But those prairie dogs will soon be eliminated if the Harvest Junction Village Homeowners Association, which manages part of the open space where Fraina walks, follows through with a plan to kill them. To prevent the death of those prairie dogs, Fraina says he’s proposed alternative solutions to keep the creatures from wandering into yards, but the HOA hasn’t been receptive.
