Here is sompthin that may piss all of you off a little.

Back in 98 and 99 I worked for Department Of Defense Police at Naval Station Bremerton. Well the DOD contracted from DNR to controll the bird population on the Shipyard as the birds nested on the buildings and moth balled ships and submarines. The birds were not liked as they pooped all over the place.

These birds were mostly sea gulls and cormerants with many blue herrons pidgeons and canadian geese also. Anyways DNR had a guy thats sole job was to kill these birds he shot them and poisened them. The only rule was that he couldnt kill birds of prey such as hawks and eagles.

He also killed tens of sea otters as they were deemed a problem because they ate their seafood meals inside the boat houses and they pooped all over the place. These otters were trapped and shot.

This is the Federal Government paying the state to kill protected threatened and endangered birds and animals on federal property because they made a mess.

But yet they cant kill a bunch of sea gulls for decimateing endangered fish?
