In all these arguments... I never once hear mention of someone who should get majority of the blame for reduced duck populations in louisiana... and thats an unnamed agricultural commissioner who made a deal with a third world country to get cheap labor and export sugar to their country if we started growing more sugar cane. We can cry all we want but at the end of the day the reasons for reduced everything wildlife in Louisiana is based on poor politics and people supporting politicians who dont care if they turn LA into a contaminated concrete jungle.
- reduced rice farming in the south
- coastal erosion, loss of marshes
- global warming (GASP! yes its real, or else saltwater intrusion wouldnt be taking place on every coastline)
- land development, causing an alarming rate of loss of habitat
- The MS river diversion causing further loss of wetlands
Now go ahead and continue to be pissed off at DU while the blame lies solely on our ELECTED officials.
