"I definitely think they need to be relocated. [They're] just a little bit too close to office space," Dr. JJ Wellman, veterinarian and owner of Happy Paws Veterinary Hospital, said Monday.
"They don't belong adjacent to office buildings, but thankfully, there is a place for them to go," she said. "[The association has] only reached out to one company. The one company quoted $15,000 to $30,000 to trap as many as they could and fumigate the rest," she said. "We love animals, and that's why I've dedicated my life to this. So we're all supposed to just watch as prairie dogs are being fumigated out back? It's just not right," Dr. Wellman said.
