If we were talking about Mink would people shelter the last individuals such that the population could rebound? http://www.surfbirds.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6141 |

But, think long and hard about the evidence-based science that stands behind the cull and balance that up with the notion of shooting ostensibly pretty ducks whose presence in a foreign landscape is no fault but our own. Like it or not, conservation in human-modified landscapes requires killing stuff. And that is never pleasant. |
