healingmirthI was finishing an assignment about endangered species this morning, and happened to wander over to the wikipedia page on prairie dogs
"Until 2003, primarily black-tailed prairie dogs were collected from the wild for the exotic pet trade in Canada, the United States, Japan and Europe. They were removed from their underground burrows each spring, as young pups, with a large vacuum device."
Vacuum. Vacuum! For mammals! Isn't that the sort of thing that only happens in Bugs Bunny cartoons?
