Background: Nebraksa legislature passed a bill that would repeal a county’s ability to eradicate black-tailed prairie dogs on private property
Supporters of the Bill Call for Private Proeprty Rights: Repealing a county’s aility to eradicate the black-tailed prairie dog on private property is important because this law “infringes on property rights and harms native animals.”
The Veto is supported by this pro-private property rights statement: “fails to protect individual property rights from neighbors who don’t control prairie dogs on their property.”
