Growing opposition to NPS crow kill

[Raven]

Who are they to say that a crow's life is any less valuable than a plovers life.

All life is precious and none can be replaced..... is what i told an Elderly woman who questioned me on why i would go out of my way to save the life of an English Sparrow. She said... it's just a sparrow !

If i hear that they go ahead with the poison nests i'd be tempted to go down there and remove it all because that is just not the right approach.

Unless they had installed game camera's to prove whats happening to the eggs they cannot just RANDOMLY select a "possible predator" and "order it" to be killed by poisoning it. that's totally illogical.

Unfortunately, the Endangered Species Act along with lobbying by the National Audubon Society.

All life is precious... as long as it is cute, cuddly and furthers an agenda.

Minor edit: All life is precious... as long as someone is willing to give $$$ to protect it.

it nearly wiped out the Condor population

it made all the eggshells so super thin
that the egg sitting parent would crush
all the eggs and they'd dehydrate

there was also a problem with poisoning ground hogs
because the cattle would step into the holes and snap
a leg and then get put down.... so they poisoned
the crap out of them....

soon the owls ,eagles, and every other bird of prey
and furry scavenger started eating all these poisoned animals
with disastrous results

and they claim animal trapping is cruelty to animals

i am not against population control of any species -go for it

but i am definitely against poisoning animals

that's about as idiotic as saying:
GOTTA DIE FROM SUMTHIN

I have JUST one pesky crow and he's gonna be hanging upside down
with wings outstretched to warn the other's that i mean business
at the top of a tree -> swinging back and forth
