As an Environmental Studies…

As an Environmental Studies graduate, I find implementing legislation such as this without conducting sufficient bird count surveys to be irresponsible. When setting a hunting limit, one should first know the estimated population and be able to equate an amount to promote sustainability of not only that species, but the entire food web and ecosystem. Prior to conducting a scientific study, there should no hunting of a species (or very few) in abiding by the precautionary principle. In summary, please stop pulling opinionated laws out of your asses and back them up with something concrete.
