Commercial fisherman are going to end most all life on this planet within 20 years anyway. (look it up)

I was blessed enough to get a breeding pair of florida sandhill cranes in my yard/pond this year. Mom has been sitting on a nest since late last week. I'll shoot anything I see fricking with them 
Allegedly there's only 4-5000 of them, and I'm really hoping I'll end up with 2 hatchlings that survive until next year.

Nah. Sandhill Cranes are doing pretty well, and their numbers are increasing. Though, like many species, their habit is being threatened.
There's actually a Sandhill Crane hunting season in some states, Texas being one of them. In all seriousness, I've heard they are fine eating.
It is really cool that you have a nesting pair. Enjoy them, help them, protect them so that more people in the future can have your experience.

Florida sandhill cranes are the non migratory sub species, that are illegal af to hunt. The "regular" sandhill cranes dipped out weeks ago. They don't lay eggs here either.
Edit: we don't get to hunt the non native cranes either, as they're very easy to confuse with the natives
But, I'm curious if anyone can chime in on how they taste This post was edited on 3/31/22 at 1:46 am

Ribeyes in the sky.

That’s cool, I didn’t know that
It's also factually incorrect. Honeybees are not native to North America, but there are over 3500 bees that are.

I get why we need snakes and certain other species that can kill or hurt us, but can someone please explain to me why we need red wasps? How do they fit into our eco system? Mosquitos too, what purpose do they serve other than to annoy and spread disease.

Why we don’t need to worry too much about endangered species

If evolution is truth, then extinction is an important part of the process.
Extinction and Evolution do not always go hand in hand. Sure, a species may go extinct because it could not evolve, but evolution is not a rapid process. The Dodo didn't have time to "evolve" to hunting pressure. Neither did the passenger pigeon.
The only reason we didn't completely lose wood ducks, turkey, and white-tailed deer in North America is because some "evolved" individuals thought it prudent to protect what was left.
Sure, some species are hopelessly doomed to extinction due to human exploits, and are nothing more than a weapon for environmental groups while they walk down that path. But to say that is somehow related to evolution or God's Will is ridiculous. It's nothing more than the result of man's need to control and do as he pleases with little regard for anything else.

Your post has inspired me to save my car battery to throw into the Gulf next time I’m on the coast.
Shell dredging happened in Lake Ponchartrain starting in the 1800s, and was constant until it was stopped due to environmental constraints around 1990. The process of dredging made high levels of suspended solids in the Lake water rendering it murky for that whole period until the dredging stopped. After about six months, the Lake began to clear up and you could begin to see feet down into the water.
Guess what was seen under the USCG-maintained aids to navigation?
Their old batteries on the Lake bottom.
They quietly & quickly picked them up. No fines were issued.

You realize that plenty of species went extinct, let’s say something people know about like the dinosaurs…., before humans? For many species humans were simply the last nail in the coffin. Like the dodo birds.
Humans have plenty of blame to go around. But it’s not always a ‘loss’ when something goes extinct. Sometimes evolution just allowed for a very weak species to evolve.

Yeah, because that's an example OP is referring to.
Come on now.

Justin Martin from Duck Commander caught lots of flack a while back for hunting them in Texas and posting a pic holding two he killed. I mean people were big mad. I've never eaten them, but everyone I know who has says they are wonderful.
