Hi Lisa, Your right not to sign it if you feel you should know the full details, and it's good that are all doing your research on this...it's better than no...
Scientists are the ones who have made so many mistakes in the first place, perhaps the problem is that they are the ones who have the power to make these...
Hi, there, ... Man makes mistakes, but man is the only species that tries to correct his mistakes and the mistakes of his fellows. Nature does not have perfect...
Hi, there, ... Scientists are simply people with special knowledge. They generally have detailed experience and expertise in a particular field. Those who...
Lisa, I agree with you, it's a wise choice to research the matter and make your own decisions on whether you would be doing the right thing by signing. I...
Hi Norma, I understand what you are saying about nature not being perfectly balanced, but by comparison to what man has done, and continues to do, it can...
... The cull would not affect the ruddy duck as a species because more than 600,000 of these birds live in the Western Hemisphere. ... Only in a limited sense...
Norma, Just reading your responses and you are much more diplomatic than I would be about it. I have a perfect solution to those that do not want a species to...
I understand what you mean in the cull rectifying the white headed duck/ruddy situation, but I do not believe that a mass slaughter can be called 'rectifying'....
I think you'd be arrested if you did that, and also creating a problem where there wouldn't have been one otherwise. Ruddy ducks aren't exactly eating other...
Kim, ... LOL! I didn't realize that nutria live in MD -- I thought they were pretty much confined to the southern US. Does MD law allow trapping the little...

Donna, whoever released the Ruddy ducks into Europe created a problem where there wasn't one to begin with, didn't they? And the Ruccy ducks are not eating...
Kim, UGH! Giant river rats! Yuk! I've dealt with field mice and river rats, but the largest I've seen here was about 4 pounds-yes, in my house. After much...
The nutria were introduced for fur farming and now are destroying the environment. Sierra and PETA must be at each others' throats. Or at least going around...
It's true, it's a very difficult situation, and finding an alternative place for the ruddys is difficult. But it's not impossible, and people have already...
Now I know that capture and relocation of rats isn't that hard, I've done it before, when rats were running round our local stable yard. I understand that you...
But areas such as the rainforest will not regenerate after we are gone, nor will the countless species we have hunted to exinction. The earth needs oxygen to...
Lisa, You say that we share this planet with many animals, including parasites, but that does not mean we can't use our best as to what we must accept. Why is...
Hi Roberta, If you look further back, one of the replies to my first save the ruddy ducks post has links which have information on the situation. The hybird...
Donna, I'm not sure if you are replying to me or not...a name in the beginning would suffice, but just in case you are...did you miss the fact that they were...
Donna, Yes, we must use our best judgement as to what we will tolerate and accept to live with. If not, we would not survive as a species any more than any...
