It just makes me wonder about what the Missouri Deaprtment of Conservation knows about conservation....Which makes me worry because I am going to college to become a conservationist. Actually it reminds me of a personal story that seems to be a perfect analogy... I had an interview at a local pet shop and told them I could be there herp guy. They said "what makes you think you are qualified for that?" And I said, calmly NOT sarcastically, "Every single one of your snake vivariums is insufficient, they are all under-fed, your rough green snakes don't have a U.V. bulb and you don't dust the crickets so they will develope a bone disease and die...." and their response was the shocker! "Well we don't have the time or money to meet those requirements!" IMO this is basically what our department of conservation is saying. they basically focus on deer, turkey, and fish. WOW, ALL GAME ANIMALS! BTW needless to say, I didn't take the Job at the pet shop!
