no, Brazillians eat them for food.
pretty stupid saving them so a foreign country can eat them when they fly south in the winter.

I know for a fact that the National fish and wildlife, the Marine fisheries and other groups watch these sites and all your dumb ass negative comments are noted. I keep in touch with them and if I want to know information or regulations I contact them. they always respond promptly and 9 out of 10 times they tell me they have been watching a thread on this or other sites.

also as a group it doesn't make look like we care about stewardship of the areas we want to access.

I know it is sore spot for most fisherman and beach goers but we need to be proactive not counteractive

To be honest, I wouldn't put it past half the people on this site to go and do what someone did.

then I feel sorry for you and your low opinion of the human race.



Those groups ought to expect some sarcastic comments when they publish an article talking about an autopsy or necropsy or whatever it was about a frikking small bird when it was found in a footprint dead, obviously it is gonna have some broken bones etc.
Naturally fishermen are going to make comments when they're frustrated by constant removal of access to the water. Maybe some of these members making comments actually do get involved to try and gain access in issues like beaches etc., I doubt anyone here would stomp on a plover nest on purpose.

I don't believe anyone here , dispite the macho retoric , would intentionally hurt one of these birds. As soon as I read it I thought someone went into the area to take a leak , probably in the dark , and stepped on the poor bird. I'm not saying that excuses the excursion into the protected area but I am saying I do not think anyone here would really kill a plover intentionally , even if they do blame them for beach area closures.

The problem is when this happens they shut everything down...it is a PIA! I heard Last week a yahoo ran over a protective cage and now they shut the beach down at night.

These birds are a nightmare IMO. The whole world revolves around them.

Thats called "problem solved".

If people can't play nice and stay on their side of the line then its everyone to their corners.

Obviously people need to be treated like 5 year olds or sooner or later someone is going to screw it up for everyone.

Kill the plovers, save the seals
