So apparently the disease du jour, monkeypox, has been spreading through the Midwest. Until now it wasn't found in the Western Hemisphere, and was probably spread to prairie dogs via a giant Gambian rat. These prairie dogs were first sold at a Chicago pet store, and some at a Milwaukee pet store, and authorities are now trying to track down all the customers.
All this begs the question, "Who the fuck would want a prairie dog for a pet?"
Prairie dogs are targets, not pets.
