Spoonbill mutilation

[fishinwrench]

I actually kinda understand the disdain of these creatures, and I personally don't approve of MDC's spending, and regulations, in regards to them......But this is taking it to a level that can't be justified.     Pretty sick !  😒 

There's some truly weird people out there, and they walk among us.

I saw a news article about it.   But they didn’t say what was carved on the fish.   They just said it was disturbing.    And I agree!   What is wrong with people?!

I wouldn't doubt it if was somewhat in response to the Hate that a lot of people have towards MDC and the position they had on CWD & the removal of many deer, the hate towards their complete control on conservation and regulations.  I have read a lot of social media post on it, and it is incredible the amount of viral hate groups of people in this state have on MDC.

I certainly don't "hate them", and there's no denying that we need them.....but the Idiocracy, corruption, and wasteful spending is so blatently in our faces that their continuance without any critical oversight blows my mind.

Seems normal this day and age

Serial killer behavior. It doesn't matter what MDC does. People are going to cry about them regardless. Just like everything in life. Some people aren't happy unless they are crying about something.n Seems like a pretty miserable existence but that's just my opinion.

Dabblemont must have taken to spoonbill fishing.  Or, MDC just tagging for easy ID.

MDC condones snagging them, ripping  multiple hooks out of them, and then throwing them back in the water to possibly die.....But nobody considers that  "Serial killer behavior" ?    Or mutilation?

Like what?    I guess I don’t follow what they do to know what’s going on.   My biggest complaint is the poor regulations on river smallie limits, gigging, the lack of any real punishment for violations and the number of tournaments they allow.   Including allowing tournaments to cull.   And the reintroduction of otters.

I don’t care what your beef with MDC is. This is horrible and I can only hope the person(s) that is doing this doesn’t make it home. Total POS if you ask me.
