There is no cure for stupid ... (Farallon Islands poison plan) (1 Viewer)

I see no solution necessary for a non-existent problem. But one can make a problem out of this as so often happens when people have a solution that needs to find one.

Regarding the initial post, there seems to be increasing usage of click bait on Birdforums, as elsewhere. This will be my only contribution to this thread, as I have learned (the hard way) that lack of ‘oxygen’ is the best response. 😉

I agree with your point about click-bait titles, and perhaps this is something for mods to consider, but I think it's important to challenge opinions that are based on ignorance and emotion rather than rational examination of facts. Otherwise, the "silent majority" sits back and watches the squeaky wheels given more credence than they merit.

Putting aside words like outrage you need to consider that the strength of your argument rests on a series of falsehoods, or at the very least moral calculations that put you at odds with the vast majority of people who care about wild birds

“There is no problem with rodents on the Farallones” - there is

“DDT and diclofenac are cautionary examples of cases where trying to do the right thing led to more severe unintended consequences” - they aren’t

You are entitled to express your arguments here but not entitled to a sympathetic reception when those arguments are so weak
