Do Relocated Poway Wildlife Thrive Or Have Difficulty Surviving?
Among the most worrying trends in Poway wildlife management is their increasing relocation to resolve human-wildlife conflict, reduce wildlife population in parks among other reasons. Relocation is commonly perceived as a quick, effective and humane way of dealing with human-wildlife conflicts. However, live trapping and relocation of wildlife is far from what it is perceived to be. In a wide array of past real -life cases, relocation has proved ineffective, inhumane and ecologically destructive. In reality, relocation is often disastrous and is not a long term solution.
1. Relocation is inhumane.
- Most wildlife relocation is often geared towards giving the animal a better home but unfortunately that is not the case.
- Relocated California animals often struggle to survive in unfamiliar environment.
- They have to fight for new territories and in doing so they may get injured or killed.
- Relocation of a mother and its young is often detrimental since she must not only fight for territory but also for food order for her to raise her young successfully.
- Juveniles have a high probability of being killed or abandoned in these circumstances.
- Recently in Kenya, all critically endangered black rhinos that were moved from one park to another died after the got to the new habitat.
2. Relocation is usually ineffective.
- A new animal will usually quickly replace the one which was relocated.
- If the attractants on the property where the animal was removed are not gotten rid off, another Poway animal is likely step in.
- Effective long term solutions and actually the most humane way of dealing with such situations is to identify attractants and remove them or changing the conditions on one's property.
3. Relocation is biologically unsound.
- Relocation of Poway wildlife to new environs can disrupt wildlife already established there.
- It is also a faster way of potentially transporting new infections or parasites to an area in which they did not previously exist.
4. Relocation is expensive.
- Annually, governments and even individuals all over the world have to spend a substantial amount of money to relocate California wildlife.
- The relocation process involves extensive planning, experienced personnel, and huge operational costs in the case of large animals such as elephants.
