Birds as big as human beings are breeding out of control near Germany's Baltic coast, giving a shock to sparrows, blackbirds and other small-fry native species.It's not like they don't know what the problem is and it's not like they don't know what the solution is.
...Thanks to German nature-conservation laws, the pushy nandus can grin at hunters, because no one is licensed to kill one.
Just like us.

For a minute there, I hadn't realized that the source of the picture was satire (a bit slow to wake up this morning, I guess)--I was sputtering with outrage until I figured it out.
License and leash your CATS because they kill small birds and mammals, but...
PETA weighed in on this yet? They're very concerned about BEARS in CHINA. People kill them for their gallbladders, supposedly an aphrodisiac or longevity aid or something.
I know! We can tell them Falun Gong is some kind of endangered animal species, and they'll be all over the Chinese to leave them alone.
I'm only half joking.
Oh, in that vein, a cosmetic line had a promotion in Philadelphia about its environmentally friendly minimal packaging. "Naked" cosmetics, they call them. Models wore only long aprons handing out samples on the sidewalk. Full rear nudity. The PETA people usually have something similar in their anti-fur actions. It's their sacred First Amendment right, right?
Maybe we could have a BARE arms event?
Nah, they'd kick the crap out of us and put us under the jail.
That photo is Birdbeak Obama telling the voters what he really thinks of us.
"Is that camera on?"
Closer to home, in NJ, a local paper had a article saying that "the increase in the bear population is here to stay" (not an exact quote.) As in bears roaming downtown Lakewood.
It's not the bears' fault, and they're just being bears, but humans legitimately can rid themselves of animal hazards.
