The 2010 spotted owl recovery plan, to be released in mid-February, concludes “barred owl removal should be initiated as soon as possible.”

No. I believe the owls should determine the outcome on their own. There is plenty of evidence that the two interbreed, so it isn’t like either will cease to exist geneticall but contribute dna to a yet to be determined new species of owl.

The fittest survive. I say let them be.

Perhaps it’s just the Spotted Owl’s time to become extinct.

No one should kill a bird of prey for any reason.

Never, ever.

My great uncle told me once that the one regret in his life was the great horn owls and hawks he killed when trapping.

Birds of prey are a sign of a healthy environment.

The over educated paper readers are just looking for more funding.

If they get it and start killing the owls it doesn’t mean the other owl will increase in population.

What it does mean is that the wild rodent population will suddenly explode increasing the chances of them coming into contact with humans and increasing the chances of disease.

So, what do they do when the barred owl is endangered?

If the spotted owl can’t compete...AMF!

what’s the point of forcing schools to teach the theory of evolution as fact, a theory that hinges on the concept of natural selection and survival of the fittest.. only to turn around and try to stop evolution from happening right in front of them?

oh wait.. democrats. nothing they do makes any sense anyway.

If Mother Nature wants to wipe out the Spotted Owl by sending in Barred Owls, then that’s how it should be.
We should not interfere, unless it gets in the way of lumbering.

This "loss of habitat" is such a tired old canard...
