I can assure you some components of the government are not happy with them either. Maybe that's why they are coming around.

I was told by a biologist in Alpena, Michigan that due to a combination of walleye predation and commorants they only get a 1/10th of 1 percent survival rate of the brown trout they plant into Lake Huron. They've actually seen the commorants waiting in anticipation when the stocking truck pulls up to the lake and then the birds actually herd and go on a feeding orgy on schools of the fingerlings wiping them out on the spot.

Alpena has historially had a "Brown Trout Festival" for many years where one aspect is a brown trout contest which consists of a tournament. Trouble is catching brown trout has become really tough last I heard.

I understand the islands they roost and nest on in the Great Lakes are absolutely desicrated with foul smelling feces due to an unnaturally high concentration of the birds. The islands look and smell like a sewer dump.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
