Dear HCN,
Woody Beardsley’s review
of “Varmints,” shown in Boulder, Colo. (HCN, 1/18/99), depicts
Rocky Mountain Animal Defense (RMAD) as antagonistic to the
filmmakers in particular and prairie dog conservationists in
general. This could not be further from the truth. This
misrepresentation is not Beardsley’s fault; RMAD’s views were
simply poorly represented at the film showing.
As
RMAD’s wildlife coordinator, I would like to set the record
straight: We are the organization that has pushed for prairie dog
protection and habitat preservation most vocally and most
forcefully on the state and local level in Colorado since
1994.
