The Battle Over a North Carolina Beach Continues

Just so you know, you idiot, people are upset over their loss of livelihood. My family for one did not go down this spring due to beach closure. Therefore the campground, tackle shop, restaurants all didn't get our money. We are just one family. You are jeopardizing peoples livelihoods with your over the top antics for animals. By the way, why don't you tell everyone in your bird loving society how they are killing the predators to these "precious" animals!

I waited a few hours after reading this article to respond to it because the lies and completely made up stories about what is really happening here on Hatteras Island, NC make me furious. Why? Because people believe what they read, unfortunately your article will move good Americans to donate to Audubon because they falsely believe they will be "helping" the environment or nature. Audubon, in my opinion, has become nothing more than "natures mafia". They take people's money and spend it taking over land, businesses or both. This is exactly what is happening to Hatteras Island. We have the most undeveloped seashore along the Eastern seaboard, a wildlife refuge and hundreds of dredge islands along these Outer Banks for birds to nest without any predators. On Hatteras Island , the National Park Service torture and murder hundreds of innocent animals every week, all to protect less than ten bird EGGS, not birds, eggs! It's criminal what has been allowed to happen here. The island lost 23 businesses last year alone because when you close beaches, even to foot traffic, on a tourist resort, business suffers greatly. Articles like this fuel Audubon to continue their reigh of terror on small beach resort areas. It has happened here, are you their next target? Believe me America, you could be!!

Again I was denied access to my beloved South Point on Ocracoke Island. When I asked the NPS nazi's about this, I was also denied an answer. Thanks to Audobon, SELC, DoW and the NPS for ruining AGAIN my vacation. For sale signs are numerous, business's are closing and the locals are suffering because of your lies and propaganda. I've always been a steward of the land and wildlife, but you've gone to far and like an above comment I've been pushed to the wall. I will fight you!

Audubon & Defender's of Wildlife fool their contributors . Golder & Maddocks (lawyers for Audubon) are a disgrace to the communities on Hatteras Island. If they really cared about the wildlife, why are thousands of animals killed daily by a full time trapper NPS employee? Where are the wildlife research centers for education involving residents & tourists? Where are the wildlife rehabilitation centers to take care of sick, injured animals? Where are the beach clean ups by these so called environmental groups? NPS is taking in money for driving permits, where is this money going? This land grab is the biggest joke.
