You see, I have a personal friend who almost lost everything he had, merely because he moved some frogs to a better habitat.
Move a Frog, Go To Jail
Regards,
I have a friend in N. Kali (place will be not named to prevent the Ribbit Nazis from shooting him with their lugers) who owns an office building whose parking lot sometimes gets flooded from a season creek.
My friend and other property owners wanted to sand bag the area of the creek that ran past the parking lots. They were not trying to divert this season creek, just keep it in the creek bed during season flooding.
Apparently Fish and Game heard about and said no because this could be a habitat of the Red Legged Frog. The owners hired a Ribbit expert to come out and see if the Red Legged Frog lived in that area.
The Ribbit expert found no live frogs nor did he find any skeletons of any dead ones in several sites in which he dug holes and look for Ribbit skeletons.
However the state and federal Enviral Nazis prevented any sand bagging because the area by the seasonal creek looked like something the red legged ribbits might like to visit and live in!
I don't interpolate. Or extrapolate.
