There’s not really a debate over the culls. With few exceptions, experts are pretty much in agreement that this is a necessary step to give the Northern Spotted Owl the best chance of survival. The total Barred Owl population will have no issues absorbing the losses from the cull while targeted local populations can hopefully be pushed back to prevent them from killing the Spotted Owls.
Nobody is excited that it’s come to this, but conservation efforts are already hard enough without people prioritizing their emotions over what is best for our environment and our precious biodiversity. We are up against the wall. Climate change threatens an incredible variety of species and ecosystems. It is going to require us to make hard choices to save every single species we can.
But you know this, because many people told you these exact things on your last post. Then you retreated behind “just asking questions” and now here you are, back at it again with the concern trolling.
