According to a recent article in the Amarillo Tribune, the Amarillo Parks and Recreation board unanimously approved a motion to allow the director of the Parks and Recreation Department and staff to investigate costs and measures to eradicate the prairie dogs from John Stiff Memorial Park. Eradication efforts being considered include extermination.

Save the Prairie Dogs of John Stiff Memorial Park was created by Amarillo residents who regularly visit John Stiff Memorial Park and want to ensure the prairie dog colony continues to be part of the park’s natural environment.
