Ha Ha Oink. The last snakes I remember here were brought by a marine on Oahu and they were humanely captured and shipped alive back to their home.
I've long been curious why my diet and lifestyle of trying to practice compassion for all life makes people upset. Believe me it does. As I said earlier (I understand you probably didn't see it) that circumstances often compromise morals and ethics. That's just the human condition. I am most certainly in favor of fencing and removing the ungulates from Mauna Loa but not by killing them. I'm also in favor of putting the hinters who brought them here in jail. If that's how it would have been done if the state had abided by six federal law suits, I would have no control over it just as I would have no control over you bringing your guns and killing attitude with you when you move here. I also have no control over anyone who decides to shoot the feral cats for sport. But I most likely will voice my opinion when I know it is wrong.
And again whoever lectured me on the cat/bird priority in Hawaii, It's HUMANS who have caused by FAR the most damage and extinctions to birds here. By your logic we should shoot the feral humans in Puna. Did you know that the Alala at Keouhou will most likely never be released as they have no generational memory of the I'o who consider them food. They would be gone in a week or two. This is one of those circumstances that seems to compromise ones ethics.
