Environmentalist's Nightmare
German Greens are in a caught in a frightening dilemma -- frightening to them anyway, because I think its hilarious.A protected species of bird is endangering rare species of fish.
Protection of the birds (black cormorants) is working - the population has "ballooned" to over 6,000.
And they are feeding on rare fish species such as grayling and pearl fish, which are unique to the region, German officials said.Sweet!"The problem is that a protected bird is eating protected fish," a spokesman for the Bavarian environment ministry said this week.
In an effort to save the poor fish, the government of Bavaria is asking permission from the federal government to allow them to play God reduce the cormorant population by "shooting them or taking their eggs."
The Bavarian bird protection group are on one side, with fishermen on the other:
"My fishery loses some 40 tons of fish a year to the cormorants," said Holmer Lex, 75, who owns a fishery on the Chiemsee. "We only produce 90 tons a year."And all those pseudo-ethical environmentalist tree-huggers caught in the middle.
Lovely.
