Puffins in serious decline due to lack of food (sand eels etc) approx
40/50% lost due to starvation. Predation by other seabirds is
significant and *normal* nature looks after itself. Yet we have been
misled in blaming rats. Gulls alone predated over 3000 puffin chicks
on one island, yet CONservation hooliganism has ensured we have wasted
circa £54,760 per km2 slaughtering rats in a scapegoat exercise when
the millions could have been spent on genuine conservation. That's a
cost to the tax payer of around £20 per puffin! 

Many seabirds are in serious decline with insufficient food to go
round due to over fishing etc, yet the CONservation hooligans seek to
increase breeding of puffins from 428,000 pairs to 1,750,000 pairs.
Just where is the food going to come from for the increase in an
already fragile environment?

One things for sure, as long as we have CONservation hooliganism we
will never have any money for genuine conservation.
