In an attempt to save the Spotted Owl, the federal government plans to kill half a million barred Owls.

What could go wrong?

https://apnews.com/article/shooting-barred-owls-wi...

To save the imperiled spotted owl from potential extinction, U.S. wildlife officials are embracing a contentious plan to deploy trained shooters into dense West Coast forests to kill almost a half-million barred owls that are crowding out their cousins.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service strategy released Wednesday is meant to prop up declining spotted owl populations in Oregon, Washington state and California. The Associated Press obtained details in advance.


The two owls from a distance are nearly identical in appearance.

bighairymike: Headline in five years, "Explosion in Rat Population on West Coat blamed on Global Warming"

Since neither you nor Dope1 seem to actually, you know, have read the article, let me help: (From paragraph 3) "Documents released by the agency show up to about 450,000 barred owls would be shot over three decades..."

Your "five years" headline is therefore moot. Besides, I don't think heavily forested areas are teeming with rats anyway.

Also, since the "barred owls are aggressive hunters, removing them also could help other West Coast species that they’ve been preying on" and "public hunting of barred owls wouldn’t be allowed." [This information is provided in reference to the OP's question: "What could go wrong?" Individuals won't be allowed to wander the areas shooting up barred owls willy-nilly.]

But never the less a nice distraction from your candidate who flew the Lolita Express at least seven times, was found liable for rape, has been accused of sexual misconduct or assault by two dozen women, raw dogged a porn star, had a months long affair with a Playboy model while his wife was pregnant -- and paid money to have both affairs hidden from voters during the presidential election -- and whose details of his alleged rape of a thirteen-year-old girl with his BBF Jeffrey Epstein are now making the rounds.

Our guy is slipping.
Here's a pro tip for liberals:

When you have to say, The government isn't killing 500,000 owls a year, it's only 15,000 or so that's not the flex you think it is.

LOL.
