INTRO: The Great Sevin Debate
Well, folks, here it is -- pro and con -- all laid out. This is not a scientific study. It's the work of two (somewhat) normal guys searching for truth and trying to make informed decisions. Factors like common sense, instinct, risk and prayer entered into what we present to you. Please, take it for what it is, two opinions. I would guess that most of us, intellectually would fall somewhere in the middle ground and have to move, emotionally to one side or the other.
All of our data will be turned over to Louise at PMCA. It is our hope that it will be helpful to them as they study the problem more scientifically and reach a decision that we will follow and further the cause of a troubled species, the Purple Martin.
Thank all of you, too numerous to mention, for your knowledge, passion, debate and civility. Pro or con, we all have the best interest of these birds at heart.
