Conservationists believe the cull of the ruddy duck, which was introduced to Britain from its native North America in the 1940s, is the only way to save the Spanish white-headed duck.

EU poll shows little confidence in US on peace and environment


The US gets a low EU rating in other areas too, ranging from just 16% who feel it plays a positive role in the protection of the environment, rising to 20% when it comes to fighting world poverty and 38% in helping world economic growth.

Let's sum up. Britain wants to kill 6,000 ducks because they're gettin' busy with some spanish ducks. The US is the worst when it comes to the environment. If that's the case, why are we overrun with millions of Canadian Geese and we can't do anything to disturb them without environmentalists freaking out, but the Brits are whacking 6,000 ducks to preserve the purity of other fowl. Makes perfect sense to me.

This also struck me;

But protesters have accused the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of "genetic cleansing" and insist the interbreeding is simply an example of Darwinian natural selection.

These idiots lose it over genetic cleansing with animals but stood silent when ethnic cleansing of humans was occurring.
