Default RE: Why is the PGC reintroducing Fishers?

ORIGINAL: bluebird2

In my area the pheasant and the cottontail rabbit are endangered species. I haven't seen a brood of pheasants in at least 20 years and the last I heard the PGC wasn't cooperating with those that wanted to import wild trapped birds from the mid west.

If rabbits or pheasants are in low populations in your area, or anywhere else, it is due to the loss of farmland habitat in combination with the changes in modern and cleaner farming practices. In this area both rabbit and pheasant populations have been improving over the past several years due to habitat improvement projects.

You are incorrect about the Game Commission not cooperating with the wild trap and transfer of pheasants too. The Game Commission can’t pay for it since they don’t have sufficient funds, due to the Legislature failing to adequately fund a state agency. So, the funding is coming from Pheasants Forever, but that still doesn’t mean the Game Commission isn’t cooperating and supportive of the program.

I see your poisonous lies and misinformation are still as blatant and far from the truth as ever. Some things just never change.
