The barred owl management strategy has drawn backlash for its proposal to cull nearly half a million owls to protect less aggressive native species like the Northern and California spotted owls.
Jennifer Best from Friends of Animals criticized the plan, asserting it reflects a lack of attention to real issues like habitat destruction and climate change, rather than merely focusing on invasive species.
Best further argued that the proposed culling sets a dangerous precedent, suggesting that all species adapting to environmental changes could be labeled as invasive.
The lawsuits highlight concerns that such drastic measures risk undermining conservation efforts by prioritizing immediate solutions over systemic environmental problems.
