No. Swans are strictly herbivores.

Uh, where do you intend to “remove” them to? There’s no place they’d be welcome; they’re an invasive species.

I will never understand the mindset of those who think it’s perfectly acceptable for people to live like feral pigs. I can understand wanting to support a lifestyle of living …

Why is it more complicated to expect people to not trash property they are allowed to live on for free? Why should they expect this will be tolerated?

I have a lot of empathy for the homeless. However, allowing this to continue on private property is untenable. Homeless advocates should recognize the harm to private property owners. Additionally, …

I’ve been on the Bay Trail during the week, outside of commute times, and while there were fewer people than on the weekends everyone had a big smile plastered on …

Drug addiction is a symptom of homelessness and mental illness, not the cause.

A lot of people who want to comment should volunteer to help the people struggling. But first, listen to their stories and perhaps understand it’s more complicated than people being …

This is so awesome! Thank you Col. Peterburs for your sacrifice and service.

4k syringes!? And advocates claim drug addiction isn’t the main cause of chronic homelessness

Go spend a day in any county position and you’ll see why.

I believe it’s the CAO or the BOS.

I don’t think the writer was saying their sudden departure had anything to do with the Rumble over the Redwoods (which was awesome, btw). It is just the timing seems …

The Board of Supervisors.

Well, I mean, it’s Humboldt County government. What else is there to say? He walked into the office, looked around, said screw this noise, and walked out. I’m surprised he …

The problem is that the majority of these people choose to live like absolute swine. It’s just disgusting. I find it extremely difficult to have a heart for people like …

My understanding is a certain portion of the local elected officials want less flights to satisfy local climate change activists. Sort of puts anyone in that position in the crosshairs.

My pandemic tipping regimen began when the govt. was sending me stimulus payments that I didn’t really need, so I passed them on to the service workers who needed the …

Hmmmm. Will they consume the invasive mussels in the Delta?

If you wonder whether you’re getting a full pint, you can do what I do (albeit for a different reason); bring your own glassware. But be honest and instruct each …

Tundra swans are migratory. Mute swans are not. Make the hunting seasonal.

My term for domestic beers like Coors, Bud, PBR, etc. is FMMPW: Fizzy Mass-Market Piss Water.The iconic embodiment of the saying that “You don’t buy beer, you just rent it.”

They need more and bigger and better aircraft to really put out fires. The military has many just sitting around in California that should be used. Maybe tell them that …

WHo oversees that position?

This colloquy reminds me of George Orwell’s pre-1950 prediction of our Trumpian dystopia in his novel 1984:In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith buys an old man a pint of beer, …

Self checkout is only to replace people with machines. But then they have to have people watching customers to make sure people aren’t taking extra items, what a waste. I …

Very interesting indeed.

That all sounds very nice (if overly idealistic and impractical), but I do feel that we are obligated to try to undo some of the damage we’ve wreaked.

The real reason hunters want the law is to kill the biggest flying bird there is. Please contact your local reps to hopefully stop this. Many tundra swans will be …

The speed of bureaucracy.
