: What about the whole west side of the mountains from South of the border up to Riverside? I know of a breeding population of rubers doing very well in tiny lots of land in the middle of El Cajon. They do suprisingly well amidst developement. Not to say habitat destruction is a good thing-- but if habitat destruction is what is threatening ruber populations, then keeping folks from collecting them isn't going to save squat.

: Your opinion matters as much as mine does.

Whatever DFG does doesn't really help any animals. They are influenced by their superiors and they in turn are influenced by the ones with money who are the ones that are either doing or financing the development. Some one somewhere in DFG probably actually cares about what is best for the animals but that person just makes suggestions. As far as the developers hurting populations, the reds may survive in town in small populations but overall they are the threat. There are numerous spots in towns whee reds are still getting by. A large portion of their range is or was under pavement, houses, etc. I was simply commenting on your reference to the reds being untouchable and got off track, which is usually what happens when I get on this forum.
