@ArtemKonstantinovich Are you trying to defend them? Really? And where are you from? - I understand how you want to know the other side of the story - but it's the federal government. They're not going to give you the straight answer like anyone who lives here would tell you. The people who live on the island could tell you more facts about the audubon by having to live with them. If you really are that curious, you can google Cape Hatteras Audubon. It might help.

Have you interviewed anyone from the Wildlife Service of Audubon?

I have been going here for 49 years on vacation and from my eyes the only thing that has changed is what has been forced on us. (We the people my ass.)

There is not a word said here that isn't true. Our Government is in bed with the Ecoterrorist. I have not been to Hatteras in 4 years due to this. That is down from 6-10 times a year. There is no way anyone can say this arbritary science is not killing the island. AUDUBON, IDENTIFY THIS BIRD!!!

I am simply feeling devastated that our country would take away the home of generations of people who have lived and loved their island and beaches for hundreds of years. I will pass this video and the cause of these people on to everyone on my facebook lists and email lists. This has got to stop!

I lived in Hatteras for 15 years and have many friends and family members that still call it home. It is truly distressing to see what "our" government is doing to them. They are slowly forcing them out of what is home. The beaches were meant to be open and used by all people, both residents and tourists. These people's voices deserve to be heard. It is their lives at stake now, who will save them?!?!?

That one woman in the first part was exactly right about the Plovers showing up in the residential areas of Hatteras Island. I used to be a sportfishing mate in the Hatteras Charter fleet and every morning when I would get up to go to work (fish) there was a group of plovers that would hang out in the yard of the apartment I lived in. I actually used to joke with my neighbor that I hoped audobon didn't come and shut down my driveway and front yard. This is really sad.

how the fuck are a handful of birds more important than the lives of these people? shoot a fox to save a plover? how the fuck does that make sense?animals go extinct,its just the way it is.does anybody miss the do do bird?

Here's a novel concept -- how about we let GOD control the habitat like He's been doing for millions of years? Man has just as much right to be there as the animals do. The animals will conform to their habitat WITH the humans around. I've seen it enough times to know it WILL happen. I, too, wonder if there isn't maybe another agenda at play here. When you put birds over humans and other animals, you are doing as much to destroy nature as you say the humans are doing.
