Ya,these flying rats are becoming or have already become a larger threat to fish populations than poachers,JMO.I believe(from what i've heard)that they are protected because they are a migaratory(sp?)bird,i don't see them migrating anywhere.They found a nice abundant food source and have decided to stick around.That's the way it seems anyway,and now more and more i'm seeing pelicans joining in with the slaughter,and those freakin' things must have to eat twice as much as the cormo-rats.

Hopefully with the petitions and mass complaints the DFG will take a serious look at this and do something!!
