Please stop the Farallon Islands poison drop!

The proposal by Coastal Commission staff to kill the invasive mice in the Farallon Islands by aerially dropping poisoned cereal pellets (Biden administration revives controversial Farallon Islands poison plan) is inhumane, environmentally harmful, and a waste of money.

The justification that the rodenticide is “the only proven method to ensure the mice do not return” is a poor rationale. Similar poisoning efforts in other locations haven’t always initially worked either. The agency should use a better method or combination of approaches, and then repeat as necessary if/when the mice population reestablishes itself.

For instance, why not just let human volunteers who have been briefed on how to avoid harming seabirds, etc., loose on South Farallon Island to catch the mice with humane mousetraps and give them new homes? Even bringing in some good “mouser” cats would be better than this proposal – while the cats might harm some birds, they would probably do less harm than would be caused by birds or members of other species eating poisoned mice, eating the poison pellets directly themselves, or suffering from the poison getting into the wider environment. The idea that it can somehow be isolated and won’t get off the island is naive.

There are much more sensible ways to go about this. Please avail yourselves of them.

#FollowTheMoney, as any astute investigative reporter knows full well, especially dealing with #USgovt/govt SCAMS; the elected officials are only mindless marionettes of their donors who are all duplicitous enough to smile & dupe their voters. It’s a glaring if not unethical omission from this discussion & related published #msmSnews articles, to leave out the Mug Shot & Contact Info for the CEO(s) of the Company et al who make the poisonpills/snakeoils & their Lobbyists & the Senators/Legislators who’ve pocketed their campaign funding & their related legal rap sheets at @TheJusticeDept:

  1. First, ID the corporation(s) & miscreant ex-cons at the helm ;
  2. Second: check @FEC on ( Browse data | FEC ) &/or “our” officials who have gone on “junkets” ( usually at the expense of the culprit corporation(s) — seeking taxpayer funding or baillouts/enrichment for their scams/junk — ) to “investigate” the problems ( Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge - Farallon Islands - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ) first hand.
  3. Third, although dizzying & labyrinthine, check the CEOs/corps — usually FELONIOUS — criminal record(s) — which in any normal universe, if properly exposed, would DISQUALIFY them from receiving ANY further #USTaxper funding laundered through #USgovt.

I love cats, but the birds of prey are natural heavenly predators. Working on projects for the (corrupt, socialist) Audubon Society for almost a decade & creating their financial annual reports for their donors, I know that the #USgovt is usually the root cause of avian depopulaiton globally these days ( going back 50+ years ). First they cause the problem — killing off birds with criminal environmental destruction, permitting rodent population explosion, THEN without a shred of shame aim to FLEECE #USWorkers/#USTaxpayers/#USPropertyOwners/#USConsumers further to pay for dimwit schemes to fix the problem they created.

Show me the money trail. I bet the cash would be better used — if not left in the purses & pockets of humane & charitable
taxpayers — housing & feeding the tens of millions of homeless humans fouling public spaces who’ve been fleeced & left to die like rats. Rats are simply bottom feeders à la most #USCitizens expecting #USgovt to solve our problems & wipe our tails.

Marty,

Whenever a govt bureaucrat ( “public servant”? ) receives more than the trumpeted minimum wage, I’m always curious; but since NONE of his credentials, prior work experience, education, cv, corporate conflicts of interest, or spouse’s employment/income seem to be obvious in a superficial g:dark_sunglasses:gle search, I presume as a jumping off point that he’s the biggest rat/marionette of the bunch making a quarter million ( more than Governor of California Gavin Nuissance @ $209,747 ) for I don’t know what.

Since, per its own “accounting,” Jack Ainsworth’s cacc ( created under GOP governor R.Reagan & made permanent under DEM governor JBrown ) has NEVER been fully funded to fulfill its purported job/mission of researching problems, evaluating potential solutions, & responding to public interests/inquiries & litigation properly & effectively ( * budget declaration California Coastal Commission & ** mission smokescreen: California Coastal Commission ) , the libertarian solution would be to ABOLISH the overpriced sham shill org completely, thus eliminating the #CAgovt body’s ability to do the bidding of the corporations seeking to fleece #USTaxpayers further for such schemes. Short of that, shaming Jack, PEACEFULLY protesting at his home, irritating the f out of his neighbors, is an effective step in the right direction.

  • “The budget does not and has never included adequate funding to support keeping the maximum authorized positions filled for the entire fiscal year. Positions are not fully funded for full position costs, merit salary increases, civil service class changes, and range changes, and departments must cover or absorb all costs for pay-outs when employees resign or retire. In addition, it is often necessary to hold positions open to cover added legal, travel, and other costs. In FY 2019-20 the Commission did not fill positions to the fully authorized level of 175 positions for the entire year and in FY 2020-21, the Commission will not have adequate funding to fill the maximum authorized 181 positions for the entire year.”

** “The Commission is committed to protecting and enhancing California’s coast and ocean for present and future generations. It does so through careful planning and regulation of environmentally-sustainable development, rigorous use of science, strong public participation, education, and effective intergovernmental coordination.”

 Thanks for uncovering this info, Marty. Is the rodenticide they're planning to use the exact same product that these commissioners have a financial interest in? Wow... Follow the money indeed.

 I actually sent my original email to the Coastal Commission and merely "cc'd" the LPSF list, but unfortunately the Discourse platform is hostile to cross-posting and scrubbed their address from the message so that I don't have it at hand now, otherwise I might send a quick follow-up letter about this.

Money streams are web like, but Messrs Frywald & Weldon appear to be in the catbird seat with the #USgovt blessed monopoly on the Brodifacoum rodenticide which they are obviously having less luck selling to the public on the open free market — potentially about at risk to be cancelled — & have their entire business scheme, & #jobs, annihilated by the EPA per the precedent set in its 18 May 2021 memorandum.

Your “public servant” representatives ( do you feel represented by any of them? ) on the commission are wisely/duplicitously keeping any of their financial stakes/gifts concealed from you — the public — who are the real financial stake holders who will be footing the all bills & dealing with any chemical/health fallout. ( Anyone still on facesmack or linkedIn to grab & post Jack Ainsworth’s cv/work history? )

I could cash in some chits with my old buddy/colleague Glenn Simpson ( FusionGPS … Trump pee tape dossier ) & his wife, who offered to dig-up/create dirt on our #BurgermeisterinBowser for my last campaign, to do a quickie but scorchingly thorough analysis & exposé on your commissioners/spouses, but I don’t have as much stake in this as you polite & permanent local residents & engaged activists.
