(53,061 posts)The point is not on the facts but that it was discussed by scientists. It is one tool that scientists consider to remedy situations where ecosystems are not in balance.
A scientific discussion is beyond your comprehension because you use such non scientific modalities as "Culls are never humane".
I have no problems with the scientists at Fish and Game, but it shows that you do not understand their mission but react instead out of some deep anger that you channel into biased and irrational statements.
I suspect you do not realize how much personal anger you share with your replies.
For the uninformed I will share the work of the last F/W scientist I had a chance to work with, at the S Bono Reserve in El Centro working on endangered species:

One of the things that these 'evil' Fish and Wildlife folks do is to grow crops without pesticides so that Arctic Migrating birds can eat their crops and not bother local farmers (and eat potentially harmful pesticides)
Croplands
Fields. (USFWS)
Wildlife management at the Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR involves an intensive farming program to provide suitable forage for over 30,000 wintering geese and other migratory birds and wildlife. Croplands comprise of 869 acres on the Refuge, with many fields cooperatively farmed by local farmers.
Crops planted on Refuge land includes alfalfa, wheat, rye grass, milo, millet, and sudan grass. With use restrictions on the use of certain pesticides on the Refuge, infestations of whiteflies, and the booming prices of sudan grass, many cooperative farmers have switched from planting alfalfa to sudan grass over the years. Sudan grass grows like a weed in the Imperial Valley and requires little to no use of pesticides
