For my part I am just trying to understand the reason for that ban and your guesses simply can not be it Eva. My muscovies are farm animals kept real old fashioned free range amongst other ducks, hens, geese and turkeys. They do not become invasive and they do not spread disease. They would not survive in the wild for more than a very few days with the predators we have (and this is Ireland, no coyotes, raccoons, and all the other duck eaters you are supposed to have in the US, just fox and mink)
I find it strange that you find any ban a good idea if you don't know the reason why there is such a ban.

I am sorry to see this attitude here. I don't know why muskovies are banned in your area, but if it is because they can become invasive and take over native duck habitats or spread disease to native birds a ban seems like a good idea.
Respectfully,
Eva
