Just to be historically correct, the Nazis were not the only miltary force to drop bombs in WWII.

I respect the heck out of animal rights activists who are consistent in their stand. I don't know if Robin Maitlin is using the prairie dog situation as a means of protesting something else, very likely development close to home, or not. Likening the plowing to a WWII air raid is extreme but could have been an unrehearsed and genuine reaction. I just don't know.
