Federal Government Plans On Destroying Nearly Half A Million Barred Owls

[ChristisKing]

So what is the point of this? Why does the government keep trying to play God?

 

[kyzr]

OMG!

 

[Darkwind]

Yeah, not something I would support.

There are other options, even if they cannot conceive them.

I love owls, particularly with a honey glaze over a grill.

LOL, that last part isn't genuine. I don't like glazed food. Ha.

I would oppose this kind of program.

 

[MarathonMike]

Yeah that's messed up and besides, it won't work.

 

[Mr Natural]

Let the owls sort it out amongst themselves!

 

[struth]

Two owls go in, one owl comes out

Who gives a hoot?

You don't like owls?

They are killing 450,000 owls over 30 years to protect the spotted owl from going extinct.

That doesn't make any sense.

That doesn't make any sense.

The barred owl is an aggressive owl that is pushing the spotted owls out of their territories which will endanger the spotted owl

Why not just let mother nature sort it out though?

 

[Rogue AI]

Of course the real problem here is being ignored. Canada. Those bastard barbarians have allowed or likely encouraged this invasion of otherwise eastern owls. Annexing Canada and cordening off the migration path would end future excursions and open the path towards civilization north of our border. Two birds with one stone, as they say.

Idiots. They are trying to play God. If the Spotted Owl is dying out, then nature has chosen it to die out due to a lack of adaptation and not being as good a competitor.

The federal idiots will kill off 450,000 of these other owls then eventually more years from now, the inevitable will happen anyway.

The FWS needs to work with scientists and find another way. The owls look similar enough that many spotted owls would certainly be killed as well. Just a bad plan.

If it was introduced by mistake, then humans need to play God.

If by nature, then the competitive exclusion principle applies. Let nature deal with it.

The Feds picking winners and losers, even among wild native species. Dumbassery has no limits.

 

[hjmick]

DEI for birds...

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

That doesn't make any sense.

Saving a species from extinction doesn't make sense?

It's not our job to and besides what are they trying to do, make the Barred Owl go extinct in the process?
