I got even.....The community had listed itself as a bird sanctuary in some federal program, which gave the developer huge sums of money or tax dodges to design the place as bird friendly as possible. It was illegal to mess wit da birds in other words.
I bought a few hundred Guinea Hens and turkeys and about fifty peacocks thru a hatchery and raised them at a friends place for a few months. We then let them go throughout the community. All four thousand acres of it including an 18 hole golf course winding about.
The phone to city government rang off the hook with complaints of loud birds screaming at night, peacocks crapping all over peoples decks, and they had a hearing on how to get rid of the problem. I was able to get the state involved and they told the town that they could not trap, shoot, or harm those birds in any way.
If you are threatened by a green mafia action, use their own principles against them. If they want to flood your land, find some endangered dry-land critter to populate the area. The feds did it with just lynx hair. They didn't even need the whole lynx.
Thank You for the advise roflmao. My particular area they want to restore for a Non native Florida Black Panther. Not as easy to get Panther cubs to raise and release.
