Hey ski man lets take your thought process one step further.
I'll give you your point, that it's important to allow other animals the right to survive. My point is, that people living in homes on these islands, driving their boats back and forth to the mainland, walking and driving ATV's around the island, and installing swim platforms, aren't distubing the loons ?
These people are only out to protect their own interests and their using the loon issue to sell it. I'm sure there's s one or two indivuduals who actually have the bird's interest at heart, but the rest of them own property, and they want to restrict everybody else from crowding their space and they'll go to any extreme to accomplish it.
Look at it for what it is.
