Then I'd go dump them on the property of the commie scum that rendered this "decision" and call the press. "Got to get these folks out of their homes, the red-legged frog is here! Gotta save the stupid f**king red-legged frog!"
You know what, folks? There's this thing called "evolution" that provides for this thing called "extinction". It's been going on forever. It will go on forever. When I read crap like this I almost hope humanity's next up on the chopping block.
Then you would go to jail.
One thing one could do, if one owned land that is certifiably clear of red-legged frogs at the moment, would be to stock your fishponds with bass and bullfrogs, which eat the little red-legged frogs before anyone can find them. But woe to you if you tried this if there were any protected species around.
Look, these people really don't care about the frogs. It's about power, and money. The state and feds wind up with about 700K (to be used to further harass other property owners), and the private "save mt. diablo" gets 300K, supposedly to buy more land, really to fund their enviro-jihad.
This story is just particularly clear-cut, but smaller "takings" occur on a daily basis all over the state.
seems to me the problem is bullfrogs eating the smaller frogs, maybe PETA should send in some volunteers to stomp the crap out of the bullfrogs to save the poor "endangered species".
If the were on my property they would be in danger of becoming lunch.
