- What do think of laws that restrict the development of wetlands (on
- private property)? For example many farmers are not allowed to
- drain/plow some part of crop lands they own. The argument being the
- wetlands are required to support migrating birds (among other things).
- If it can be shown that by developing the wetland, the farmer will
- cause adverse effects on bird populations, thereby denying hunters
- game, is the farmer initiating coercion against the hunters? I assume
- you think the farmer should compensated for not being able to use his
- property - what should happen if the farmer then refuses compensation
- and develops the wetland? What happens if all the farmers in the
- central valley do so?
-
- A related question: should a person be allowed to hunt anytime
- on their own property? Should the state in any way regulate
- hunting?
