Default Re: Ever had to leave a job because of fauna?

Its nice to see we are all likeminded.

The tree crew i worked for before, if we found a nest with baby birds in it and i mentioned that we should leave the tree or relocate the nest.
(or at least give the babys to wildlife rescue)

My boss at the time would look at me like i was some sought of nancy boy, then he would pick the nest up and throw the whole lot straight through the chipper, babies and all

When i confronted him about it, his defence was " now we've disturbed the nest the parents will never come back to it, so they are dead anyway i'm just giving them a quick death"

God he was a prick!

Now i run my own business,
when i find a nest with babies at least i have the decency to bring them home for my Vietnamese neighbour to eat!

Just joking, just joking.
