Leave the Womp Womps Alone!


Leave the Womp Womps Alone!
The Issue
Facilities Operations has installed cage traps throughout campus, in an attempt to relocate Womp Womps to an undisclosed location. These beloved critters have long enjoyed the safety of our campus, bringing joy to students and faculty alike. They have become integral members of our community, arguably replacing the Vassar Brewer as our college mascot. According to a sign posted on the Deece path (affectionately termed Womp Womp Way), the eviction is motivated by the animals causing "damage to college property." We can only assume that this statement is in reference to the animals feeding on campus flora, specifically the expensive gardens in which flowers are pulled and replaced on a regular basis. Is a little nibbling every now and again really cause to relocate an entire population? Please sign this petition to show the college your appreciation for our furry friends, and urge them to reconsider.
