Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[CHERYL WESOLOWSKI <mullski1@msn.com>]

This is just another dumbing down thought process by our irresponsible government, taxation w/o representation. Muscovies are no more invasive than any other barnyard farm poultry and if population were a problem it could easily be controlled.  Funny who the government has all this time to create stupid laws but doesn't address all the problems created by cafo's(follow the money).  Ya wonder who was pushing to get these laws pushed thru?  As the government is focusing on such a moronic thought process such as national identity for livestock it completely dropped the ball in invasive species that are decimating our native floral, ie asian carp, sea lamprey, zebra mussels, emerald ash borer, west nile virus, etc., I think I could go on for quite a while here.

Subject: Re: [Livingontheland] muskovy ducks

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
