As the article says, ducks and geese will not mess with a swan. Of
course the so called "Canadian Geese" are a huge pest also, and
should now be called American geese since most of them haven't
flown
north in years.

Both species should be targeted and destroyed...

Pussy...

I'd be pleased to read an AP item datelined in your town stating that a
short greaseball with a ponytail was pecked to death by a wedge of
swans, who then left the scene of the assault laughing loudly.

Are you on Mary Jane, Coke, or some new designer drug your wife
introduced you to?


Probably something prescription, the guy is barely capable of getting
through the day...



I'm not a heart patient like you are, little dungball. The only "med" I
take is an OTC multivitamin.


Better check the label to make sure it wasn't made in India and
distributed through Canadian Pharmacy.

In all seriousness, swans are beautiful to look at but really nasty
critters. We come across quite a few of them when we're cruising and
thet get unpleasant up close, bad dispositions to the core. Early in
our cruising days when we thought feeding them was cool, a swan took a
chip out of the side of our boat, apparently because we were not
feeding him fast enough. Other birds like ducks give them a wide
berth.



I'm certain many critters think mankind is really nasty and unpleasant.

I am glad to have had this discussion with you. I've always wondered about the source of your
bitterness. Now I can see you despise mankind. Knowing you are in that category must be extremely
painful to you.

That's a shame.



The sad thing is that you probably believe that statement of yours.


Yup. I don't tell stories that are lies.

"Me hunter, you critter...bang, bang, bang."

If I had a choice of neighbors between swans, herrings or isnotties, I'd
pick the swans. They may have their aggravating habits, but at least
they look nice.


Do you eat meat?

If those critters had a sweeter disposition, you'd probably grab one for
a pet.


That bull**** from Harry, who deems it acceptable to feed the animals
human scraps for his entertainment against any and all advice from
experts to not do such.

The point, dumbfoch, is not that the swans are deleterious to the Bay.
No one is disputing that. The point is that once again our resident
righties are jumping on the bandwagon of "kill, kill, kill" to get rid
of a problem we created.


Was there ever a time when you boys or your ancestors could think in the
abstract, or is that just anathema to the right wing?


Maybe we should load them on buses, take 'em to the airport, and fly them back to Germany?

All well and good in New Zealand. Here we have folks who think these things should be 'protected',
even though they're destroying, by the many acres, the habitat of species essential to the bay. The
friggin' swans are *not* essential to the bay, except in the heads of a few.- Hide quoted text -

So.. here we are a few days before Christmas and all you can think
about is slaughtering some of God's creatures because they
inconvenience you?
Just what kind of pseudo Christian do you claim to be?


The swans are a INVASIVE species, Suckling Don the Coward. Are you
really so stupid that you think invasive species is a good thing for the
environment? If so, take some zebra mussels and let them go into lakes,
ponds and bays of Halifax.
