The misguided and silly effort the district attorney has taken with the wild peafowl issue is stunning. Arresting the birds and taking them to jail (“rescue”) for trying to eek out an existence is criminal.
However, I am thrilled that the district attorney has taken up “disturbing the peace” issues along with quick decisive action. I want to know what the DA is going to do about the breed of motorcycles that inhabit my part of the world. Not only are these motorcycles loud, spew waste, cause major injuries and are simply murderous; rarely does a week go by without a motorcycle becoming involved in a major injury or death.
The amount of time, resources, health care and opportunity that is lost to the emergency response to the hundreds of motorcycle accidents annually must be immense (at least when compared to peafowl). The DA should concern themselves with a genuine cause and start with the capture and rescue of dangerous motorcycles to a place where they can do no more harm to our community.
It would be much simpler if the complaining party just moved back to their sterile urban environment and leave what little wildness is left in Malibu. The complaining folks at Point Dume should use their undue influence to affect positive change in their community, not chase away living things that have just as much right to live in Point Dume as anybody.
I will gladly trade pesky peafowl for the dangerous, noisy and murderous motorcycles that inhabit my neck of the woods.
