    Yes, the ones who want cranes hunted are Republicans

    Two Michigan lawmakers are pushing for a hunting season for sandhill cranes.

    On April 10, House Resolution 61 and Senate Resolution 30 were introduced by Rep. Jim Lower (R-Cedar Lake), and Sen. Dale Zorn (R-Ida). Lower introduced a similar resolution (HR 154) in 2017.

    The resolutions call on Michigan's Natural Resources Commission to add sandhill cranes to the game species list. And they urge the commission to seek the required approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to establish a hunting season for the birds.

    https://www.michiganradio.org/post/s...an-legislature
    The article gives me the impression this is just show boating by these two Republican legislators. Supposedly, their farmer constituents claim the cranes are a nuisance and harmful to their crops. But the state wildlife commission says there is zero chance they are planning on approving the hunting of cranes, resolutions or not.

    My two cents: It is Kabuki theater so two wingnut legislators can give the impression they are fighting for the property rights of their farmer constituents.

    I guess you haven't seen the attacks on the EPA and environmental regulations in general in the last few years, eh? As I pointed out when I posted the link to the proposed legislation in MI allowing sandhills to be hunted, it was (R)s who introduced it. One in the senate, one in the house.

    There are plenty of other things to legally hunt. It's unlikely that the proposed legislation will go anywhere anyways because the cranes are a federally-protected species like all migratory birds. Some subspecies are threatened and/or endangered.

    I don't understand why some think animals are just out there to be shot.

    So instead of attacking the issue you attack the opposition Party. Got it.

    Just thought it might be a good time to repeat the OP. Hope you don't mind, Grumpy.

    You clearly said you did not want any political party supporting the slaughter of cranes.

    Laws against the unnecessary slaughter of sensitive or endangered species is - or at least was - a bipartisan consensus. Republicans played a significant role in the Endangered Species Act of the early 1970.

    The fact that the Trump family likes to murder leopards and elephants, and the fact that these Michigan dunces want to hunt endangered cranes is not a reflection on all Republicans. I have seen or heard very few conservatives here defend the leopard-murdering traditions of the Trumpf family, although they have not exactly been vocal in their opposition to this killing of African wildlife.

    Well said.

    A Republican president signed the order that created the EPA in 1970.

    i started putting out some lettuce for rabbits,and now I'm putting out blueberries, and straw and greens and commercial mix.
    My cat sits in the window and watches the parade of rabbits all night long.

    but they leave a lot of scat - so i sweep and hose everything up a couple times a week

    We're in mid 90's no clouds for another 10 days until the monsoon eventual starts.
    Everything is dry and burnt, so the berries help give them liquid,and i put out a tray of water as well

    That's very sweet. Be careful leaving food out at night because it draws raccoons too. Did you say a monsoon is coming this way? Can't get here soon enough. 100 for the next two days. I am so done with this.
