Such a policy should be brought against other invasive species.
Affirmative action selection for the spotted owl. Just look at how well that is serving a different society.
Without action against the barred owls, service biologists say the spotted owl could disappear from parts of Washington and Oregon within a few years and eventually go extinct.
************************************************************
1986 - The Forest Service adjusts its forest-management plan, proposing to set aside up to 690,000 acres of national forest for preservation of the owl.
1987 - Thirty environmental groups file petitions seeking endangered protection for the owl. The Fish and Wildlife Service rejects the petition.
1988 - U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly rules the Reagan administration rejected the petition arbitrarily and sends it back.
Whatever the stated reason for the US Parks and Wildlife is. You can bet it is something else involving money. Athiest, communist, Lefties want to control the land use and the lumber in this area. Start there.
Esta mierda otra vez? I thought all the spotted owls were threatened with extinction every time a dead standing tree was felled in the PNW over 30 years ago-so spotted owls still exist? I don’t remember reading any history that told about the settlers bringing barred owls with them from Europe a couple of centuries ago, either-did the settlers use them like hunting hounds to track animals to trap for fur to sell? to eat?
It is not nice to fool with mother nature-just look at what happens every time someone does-kill all the wolves-you get an army of clever, destructive coyotes to fill the space and kill WAY more livestock-exterminate a predator bird like a species of owl-get a plague of mice and rats that is epic-it has already happened elsewhere, but by all means just ignore that...
lol either way nature doing its thing after man interference
Put up more wind farms, eliminate the birds you don’t want. Give the spotted owls carbon credits.
Climate change must be a factor in this, somehow.
Thank goodness Fauci did something about the exploding beagle population.
They already killed off white owls, I can’t find them in CVS anymore.
