Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 that all depends *invasive* species that harm the natural species of that eco-system, should be removed ina cautious and well thought out manner... the problem lies a ton in defining what is invasive and what isn't opportunistic species have piggybacked all over the globe with humans...think of everything from rats to houseflies to dandelions... but..tryin to peg down exactly wot is invasive and wot isn't..ouch..not something t o be taken lightly... how about horses in the american west? they aren't technically native...they came here with the europeans..but on the other paw, horses evolved here in north america,...same with camels...they just died out thousands of years ago..soo..when do they stop being native? touchy subject that needs lotsa debate..... but...things that obviously kill off native species should be relocated.... Lynda <lurine Oct 28, 2005 9:41 AM Re: Re: Two wrongs don't make a right! How about removing introduced species that are taking over native species to their detriment or demise?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Why do you keep taking everything I say personally/literally, it is not meant with any nastyness, just maintaining a long running traditional gag. As far as I know there are no vegan Welsh chat groups?, so until I am bannished into the ether wilderness, here I am, take me or leave me. I have never considered myself insular, but I suppose I may be,its not for me to say. Do I offend you?, if so I whole heartedly apologise. I am flippant, and do like to get a reaction in people , but thats just me.Dont take it to heart. We`ll keep a welcome in the hillsides, we`ll keep a welcome in the........

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Would agree with what? No physical border?, or that we would welcome the beavers in Wales? You`ve lost me now?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi Peter As far as I am concerned you are welcome here - but you just always seem to dislike England and English people. Whatever has happened between England and Wales is not the fault of people like me - and I do find some of your remarks offensive. I have never thought of divisions between normal people, only governments, and I nor any of my family have ever been in a government, and have never done anything nasty to any Welsh people.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 You mentioned borders and that you would welcome them (borders) in Wales - you didn't qualify your sentence with the word 'beavers' - so were you deliberately misleading me, or was it an accident? :-) Jo , peter hurd <swpgh01@t...> wrote: > > Would agree with what? > No physical border?, or that we would welcome the beavers in Wales? > You`ve lost me now? > > The Valley Vegan.............. > > Nid hawdd bodloni pawb It is not easy to please everyone > > > heartwerk <jo.heartwork@g...> wrote: > I wonder if all the Welsh people living in England would agree with that. > > Jo > > , peter hurd wrote: > > > > Yes no physical border as such, we would welcome them here. > > > > The Valley Vegan........... > > > > Anouk Sickler wrote: > > what is the border like between wales and england? > > is there a physical wall/gate there? do you need documents or Id > > to cross over? > > from what I see on the map it is just a line, so beavers > > could go back and forth? > > > > > > , peter hurd wrote: > > > > > > One mans whim is another mans dream, welcome home beavers, this isle > > has missed you. > > > Now if only we can get the bears and the wolves back............... > > > > > > The Valley Vegan................. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > To send an email to - > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
