Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Shoot if you must this old red head…


The Rossmoor woodpecker firing squad is making it very easy to make photoshop fun of them today…I’m starting gently.  In the meantime, concerned residents are asking for calls to city council

From Woodpecker Friend Bev
Here is your opportunity to take a proactive stand to protect our birds here in Rossmoor:

Please telephone and ask to speak to as many of the Walnut Creek City Council representatives as you have time to talk to on Thursday, Jan. 29.  Before placing the call, have the list of City Council members so you can ask for each person by name.  Call 925 943 5812.  The person answering may likely require you to leave your name with them and to also provide your call back number to reach you.  Be sure to ask for the name of the person with whom you are leaving your request  so that person knows you are keeping track of the call. Also impress upon them that you are trying to speak to the City Council person about a time sensitive issue and are hoping to speak to the council person the same day.

 

When the Council person calls, tell them that the Rossmoor administration has publicly gone on record that they are going to shoot the woodpeckers at any time now and that because of this, there isn’t time to wait for the next City Council meeting to address this issue.  You would like the City Council official to instruct the City Attorney and Police Chief to tell Rossmoor’s homeowners association and the Golden Rain Board and Foundation that the City police will enforce the City of Walnut Creek gun ordinance and prosecute anyone who knowingly violates it.

The amazing thing is how familiar all this is in some ways. Massive media attention, huge offers of help, and hours of public effort challenged by the narrow minds of a few property owners who aren’t willing to believe there’s a better way. The sad thing is that even if one mutual agrees to suspend the shooting and work with audubon, the other won’t, so the shooting will still trigger the population increase that allows everyone to say “see we tried alternative ideas and it didn’t work!”
It’s so frustrating. Lets try something less subtle:
