Jim,
Amen to that, I agree with you completely. It's ironic that humans are so
very quick to "protect themselves" against the "threats presented by other
species" when it's usually human interference with other species that generated
the problem to begin with. Unreal, just unreal.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Connecticut utility kills parakeets
I found an interesting article at
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/12/05/killing.parakeets.ap/index.html
about a Canadian utility that takes down parakeet nests and kills the birds
because the nests cause power outages and fires; the power outages in turn
threaten the lives of people on life support.
I say they could remove the nests, but don't kill the birds. Instead, they
should help them find a new home. We humans have created this problem, since
the species is not native to this country.
If the link doesn't work, I can send you the article; I have saved it.
