I’ll assume that they will label the poison and the dead poisoned mice so the birds won’t ingest?
That’s mousists.
Sure. Great plan. Drop the rat poison over the entire island and see what survives.
Idiots.
They’re not breeding out of control because of “climate change”. They’re breeding out of control because stupid and careless people took them to that mouse-hospitable island 200 years ago.
This they want to fix, but not the RATS in congress.
Wol-fart knows better than God how to correct the situation. According to the bs article, this has been a problem for a long time. I am sure dropping poison will be as helpful as cats….
FJB
I’m sure Florida and else where can spare a few pythons.
What could go wrong?
“The past few decades have been the most significant for the damage the mice have caused…”
I dare them to compare that to the amount of human activity during that same period. I’m sure you will find a direct correlation. Mice and rats thrive on the waste of humans.
Globull warming?
How did the birds survive there before the mice?
There are a lot of things that were accidentally introduced and are breeding out of control and the mice are the least of our worries.
“…There are a lot of things that were accidentally introduced and are breeding out of control…”
YUP, but not accidentally. WSHPOODC!
I hate those meeces to pieces!
Because invasive species have never overrun the habitat.
Sound likes the Island if Demonrats to me….
“Love to eat them mousies… mousies what I love to eat! Bite they little heads off, nibble on they tiny feet..
I’d say send in a battalion of cats. But neuter them first so they don’t multiply and overrun the island.
Third-world invasive species will destroy civilization in this Country.
And it won’t take long.
@Kliban’s Cat — Hey, is that really you, or is that a meatloaf?
Speaking of cats, where’s Samurai Cat these days? We could sure use him.
planned Parenthood on its way!
Doesn’t the UV light shining in thru that ozone hole over Antarctica that’s the size of North America fry their furry little asses?
