Tell Colorado Wildlife Commission to Ban Use of Cruel "Rodenator" Device

Minneapolis, MN, United States
Created March 20, 2011

The Issue

The "Rodenator" is an anti-prairie dog device used to explode burrows. The device has also been used on gophers, moles, rabbits, foxes, badgers and even coyotes.

A user first pumps propane gas into the burrow of the targeted animal. The propane sinks deep within the tunnel system of the burrow. The "Rodenator" then ignites the gas, violently exploding the burrow and anything living inside.

The Colorado Wildlife Commission approved the device in 2006. Now, residents are complaining about the inhumane device and want to see it banned.

Some residents have even seen prairie dogs on fire.

It's time this device is banned. Tell the Colorado Wildlife Commission to outlaw the "Rodenator."
