Endangered species act

[Todd Redhead]

Kenn:

I think you missed the point.  According to Mike - his friend had guns
(more than one) pointed at him with the threat of death (after all, why
else would you point a gun at someone) all for some roadkill.  In my
opinion - this is extreem!  Guns are given to law enforcement
individuals as a tool to both protect themselves and to help protect
society.  i.e. to remove rapists and murderers from the general
population.  I'm not sure that they were intended to be used to remove
roadkill collectors.  If Mike's friend had simply heard the telltail
...thump-thump... then kept on driving - he would have been better off.

There are far too many stories of the USFWS acting in this way to just
chalk them up to conspiracy theories or simple exaggerations.

Just my honest opinion,

Todd
