Blue crane massacre

So a few 1000 birds died, I don't see what the big deal is. They would have died anyways in a few years!

And how do you suggest we replace them ?

They are already a threatened species.

In the last two decades, the blue crane has largely disappeared from the Eastern Cape, Lesotho, and Swaziland. The population in the northern Free State, Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and North West Province has declined by up to 90%. The majority of the remaining population is in eastern and southern South Africa, with a small and separate population in the Etosha Pan of northern Namibia. Occasionally, isolated breeding pairs are found in five neighbouring countries.

Shamepies. I am sue you are just jokin reaching for a kneejerk reaction. I hoped you can and will lay and fertilize blue crane eggs and raise the chicks.
 
Give the farm to the EFF and then they can poison us as well.
Wish I knew the farm and farmers name and products so it'll go go viral and close him/her down.
 
Surely there must be a motive for poisoning them? They were affecting his business?

Doesn't matter...you can't go poisoning animals because of your business...

If that's how things worked, we'd have a lot more extinct species.

There are other means of keeping your crops safe and this guy should be thrown in jail.
 
I wonder if the environmentalist can make noise about this so people can pressure the authorities to arrest this farmer, if he really farms anyway.
 
:mad:

I hope his wife poisons him. Karma is a bitch.
 
To be honest if they say more than 200 were found dead, then I feel for this farmer. We had about 30 Cranes on our farm, and the damage they do to your crops are insane.
