Thousands of prairie dogs killed in annual shoot.

Stephanie Boyles, a wildlife biologist with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Norfolk, Va. ... ''They're just killing a lot of animals for fun.''

During the shoot, organized by the Selfridge-Shields Sportsman Club, participants pair up and spread out to prairie dog colonies within a 30-mile radius of the town. The top 10 shooters win $1,900 in prize money. The day ends with a steak fry and dance.

'Sounds like good fun to me. And reclaiming grazing land while they're at it!
