Rats killing native snails on Molokai - Hawaii News

Did any check if the natives of Molokai are eating tree snail escargot ????

Is our ability as a society to care for snails, while no resourse to handle hungry children around us, got it right? It seems that at a time when we are reducing the number of school days, maybe the snails could be on their own. I know that you are thinking that I just don't understand. While I am thinking we might have our priorties misguided.

Have a nice day.

Hence the title "Rats killing native snails on Molokai."
Understand?

Rats will eat anything and everything; one of the reasons that they are so destructive.

There must be something potent in rat milk given the way the little buggars thrive.

While running around the Ala Wai Canal I laughed when I saw the “Warning Leptospirosis” signs (bacterial infection, contamination passed in the urine of infected animals) posted by the Board of Health.

Then I saw a rat swimming by ………….

Issue a bunch of sticks out to the homeless. So many dead rats gets you a bag of food, so many will get you some food, so many for cash, etc. Just don't tell them they are working for a living, they don't like that.

I'd use the sticks for a different purpose. On YOU!

I thinks so too, or maybe he just loves rats?

I don't know so maybe someone can tell me why we need snails. Do they do something to enhance plants and trees? If the snails serve no useful purpose, why do we have to have UH spend money breeding them and trying to recreate the population?

So What: because if we don't have the snails, the lehua, and the other native plants and animals then Hawaii will be no different than Orange County, with nothing unique to it, filled with weedy imported junk from around the world, and people who post stupid comments like yours.

Might as well blame the rats for ruining the economy there by chasing out the tourists.
Molokai has bigger problems than losing native snails.

Don't native snails eat native plants..?!?!?

They have snails in Orange County too. The question was simple. Your answer was Stupid and meaningless. Maybe you shouldn't be posting when your drugged up and drunk.

Where's Earth Justice? Surely they can find somebody to sue in all this.
