Alexander Nijman Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 well if those purist want to remove those Sarracenias the should start first with those ugly sprucetrees in the back. They are not natives there either. For God sake leave those Sarracenias there as long as they do not any harm to the rest of the bog. Or thin them out a bit if there are going to be to manny.

danthecpman Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 pheasants are a real pest. the release pens destroy native flora, and the birds themselves are omnivorous, hoovering up anything they find from seeds to rare invertebrates and mice, so have a big impact on local biodiversity. around here they are released by the tens of thousands....I would love to see pheasant releases banned, and they hardly breed by themselves so would soon die out. Im a part time gamekeeper myself and you wouldnt believe how well the 'wild' game stock breed throughout the breeding season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Nijman Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well in the Netherlands a lot of pheasants are eaten by foxes and other predators. And also hunted, very good to eat. About those Sarracenias, in Switzerland they grow as far as I know in a protected area. And they leave them there as far as I know.
