I heard a good one on the news tonight. The environmentalist whackos here in this Washington (state) (yeah there's plenty of 'em here) are always getting their BBDs in a bunch over the Salmon in the Columbia River. All those poor little fishies trying to get past the big bad dams
The corps of engineers spends millions annually on efforts to help them pass safely up and downstream around the numerous dams found on the Columbia.
Tonight there was a news story about American White Pelicans flocking around the dams and taking advantage of disoriented fish that have just negotiated the fish ladder and feed on them as the fish are rolling around near the surface of the water. Now the enviros have an issue where a protected bird is preying on a protected fish. What to do, what to do. . .
The corps is now spending $$$ to track the pelicans, monitor their fish intake, and come up with methods to discourage them from hanging out at the dams.
The life of an environmentalist is so hard.
