Theyr'e on the move Greg. Yep -to the power plant.


I was at the DEP office Friday for my water quality QA and I talked to
one of the biologists. She says when they do necropsy in the winter
they are finding manatee with undigested grass still in their throats.
The literally freeze while they are eating if they venture away from
the power plant. If they stay there they starve.

Yeah we are really "saving them".

The crime is heating the water.

Gee, on that note, I suppose I should ask my wife to shut off the
"birdbath" water heater she runs outdoors all winter, so that passing
birds have unfrozen water to drink.


I suppose it all depends on if you support the endangered species act.
That says you should not intentionally be interrupting or altering
natural migration patterns with human activity.

He feeds the wild animals around his house human food. That tells you
what kind of person he is. He feels good about doing something that is
actually harming the wildlife.

He doesn't understand that he is turning his property into killing
ground. We stopped feeding the birds due to the fact that our female
Beagle kept catching and killing the birds. Also, our yard is now a no
squirrel zone, when the other squirrels saw one of their own being
caught and eaten by the same female Beagle they got the idea that our
yard was not the place to be.

Our chipmunk family living under our front steps was resolved by the
foxes. One chipmunk is a snack but a whole family of chipmunks is a
meal. And, our neighborhood has no stray cats either. The foxes have
taken care of that problem.

If you are truly concerned about the animals you would not put out food
where it does not naturally occur nor water where it is not naturally
found. All yo are doing is creating a buffet for the local predators.
