Content-Transfer-Encoding: quote Dubious expertise aside, the comments sound ethically challenged. Realistically, though. I doubt that the ethics of the argument will reach a critical mass. Addressing the "What good are they?" argument matters a lot. I will try, if brainpower and time permit. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Bev Wigney Sent: June 18, 2019 8:14 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Bird Habitats On 6/18/19, John and Nhung <nhungjohn@eastlink.ca> wrote: > Makes me think of a conversation I had with a coupla guys about ten days > ago. John -- Your anecdote brings to mind a "private message" received a few days ago on facebook -- sent to me by someone connected with the forest industry who was browbeating me about how the naturalists and environmentalist don't know anything about wildlife and are an embarrassment to Nova Scotians. This person said we shouldn't be making such a fuss about birds because they are only here for a few weeks and then they fly away and are gone. I sincerely doubt that this "expert on wildlife" even has a clue about *why* the birds are in Nova Scotia in summer. Doubtless, they think they reproduce elsewhere in the world and are just here for their summer vacation. bev
