Reports like this get more Pdogs killed than hunters ever thought about. When a rancher sees that the Feds are thinking of protecting P dogs the first thing he does, if he can afford to, is run out and buy enough poisen to eradicate the dogs on his land.
Once again areas that have changed the least from man's influence will penalized by the Endangered Species Act. It is the plow and concrete and dogs and cats that eliminate Pdogs.
