And we have a Federal functionary whose job it is to provide that service. Ponder that few a minute.

Put the birds back outside for the other wildlife predators to enjoy.

A federal permit is required for a bird to cross a state line, but Dems want illegals to cross national boundaries without restriction.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Great line...should be ‘end of the story’ but LOGIC and COMMON SENSE take a back seat to LIBERALISM.

PDJT should ‘leak’ the info that he is pondering disbanding TSA and stop checking flights...let ANY and EVERY body aboard a plane, don’t check passports at the border etc etc etc. OF course, a ‘threat’ doesn’t work and if ‘he’ so ordered it , it would take ‘forever’ for the average LIB to see what is happening.

Let the airlines pay for their own security, if they don’t want to fly with no one getting ‘checked’ then don’t fly.

Entrenrepenuership will find a way, someone may even go back to hiring Pinkerton to do such ‘nasty jobs’

If the airlines etc had their own security in place, one could bet all the chaos at airports would cease and you would see passengers having to sign waivers should said plane get bombed out of the sky or taken to an exotic, foreign land.....

Good advice, but he did say “had”, past tense.

Just goes to show you how stupid people have become. While I’m all for conservation but what about those veterans that lost legs, arms and whatever, protecting the space those liberal ass wipes take for granted?

What’s the hold up? I’m pretty sure that the federal owl and pelican police are on furlough now and can’t do anything if the birds are moved.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

Pardon my cynicism BUT it seems that when ‘these people’ get interviewed or are ‘guests’ on shows they sort of ‘TRY’ and give the impression

“I love my job and if they let me, I would do it for nothing as long as I can help wildlife (or the homeless, downtrodden etc etc)”

Now ‘they’ can put their money where their mouth is and tend to ‘all’ until the checks start flowing???

There is an emanation of the constitution’s penumbra dealing with the transportation of pelicans. The Founders were very concerned about them. There was even talk of making them the national bird. As far as I am concerned - throw another pelican on the barbie.

Because government is responsible for all creatures, big and small, after all.

Excellent point.

Canadian geese cross a national boundary and a dozen state lines.

Any day now the crazies will want to spend billions to get them to ground, tag them, and then send them on their way, one state at a time... :-(

The bird was taken to the Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island as temperatures dropped, where executive director Kristin Fletcher says they can’t get the needed federal permits to move him to a southern location.

That should be on tv 24/7 to point out how stupid dems really are.
