ok...I've heard some stupid stuff before but this really is stupid.. treating wild cats as criminals....and I can thank our local cheerleader for the Parks Servce and Nature Con Chuck Graham for this story in the Coastal View about the feral cats on San Nicolas Island... Feline free on San Nicolas Island..
Chuck says life got a little easier for the native plants and animals now that the feral cats are gone...this is the rationale these people use for a species purge....and it's nothing to be proud of...these folks have committed many crimes against nature in the name of nativism!!
all these little agencies, from the Navy to some restoration scammers conspired to rid the island of the cats that have been there for years...the island was their home and they lived there peacefully...feral cats are awesome and big and if you get one of their offspring, they make outrageous pets but are more suited for ranches so they can roam..but they are sweet and funny when they warm up to you...and they hunt like higher beings...
so we have all these agencies spending millions of dollars trapping cats on the island...during the three year long process they also trapped 1000 foxes!! .... and when it was all said and done, these nitwits caught 66 cats!! 66!!! and they blame the cats for all sorts of damage to the wimpy native species....nonsense
oh my what a crock of bullshit these people keep feeding the public....supposedly the cats were transferred to the mainland and adopted but I guarantee some were just wasted..killed...the foxes are smaller than the feral cats and I know some of the trapped foxes were killed.. although Chuck says none were killed for the restoration propaganda machine..just pathetic...
it feels bad the cats are gone..I can sense it here on the mainland...I just know the wrong thing is going on over there and bad people are now the watchers of the land....
it's absurd to be worried about 66 cats on this huge island that was used for bombing exercises: NAVAIR Point Mugu is located at Naval Base Ventura County, just west of Los Angeles. It was established in 1946 as the Navy's first instrumented missile test sea range. It offers enormous geographic diversity: vast ocean, deep water ports, protected islands within restricted air space. The 36,000 square-mile sea range, which includes San Nicolas Island, supports both developmental and operational test and evaluation of missiles, free-fall weapons and electronic warfare systems.
San Nicolas Island, 60 miles offshore, is used for littoral warfare training, including theater warfare exercises and includes launching facilities and a 10,000-foot runway.
(1) UnderwaterDetonations; (2) Ship to Shore Bombardment; (3) Amphibious Warfare, and (4)Antisubmarine Warfare. These activities are critical to Naval training and can only be accomplished on the west coast because of its unique attributes....
when oh when are these people gonna cut the crap about species vs species..the cats on the island should have been left alone....unfortunately they are killing off cats on other islands for the same reasons....and it's unconscionable..
nice job, Chuck ....you little putz
