Ring Around the Rosies; Pocket Full of Posies

A second outbreak of the bubonic plague has been confirmed in Colorado. Right now the problem seems to be confined to prarie dogs. Of course PETA thinks prarie dogs are cute, cuddly creatures that can do no wrong. In reality, besides causing broken legs for cows, horses, buffalo, and other grazing animals, they are now a threat to spread bubonic plague. Now I understand that the plague is treatable with an antibiotics regimen, but I don't particularly care for the idea of the plague in my backyard. And how hard would it be for some terrorists to go grab a few dead prarie dogs and harvest this stuff and start attacking us with it?

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
