OK venomous people....

maybe it's me, & related to the fact that I shouldn't even be awake at this hour (and barely am)...but I can't figure out what the heck you are trying to say there (and there was something in your subsequent post that baffled me as well - though I will come back and try again later)

Given the nature of the discussion, I will assume that the gist of your posts was that you don't accept the evidence that relocation of some species can be detrimental to the survival of the animal. Most of the literature I have read on that subject is limited to rattlesnakes, and a few other species that use a communal den/hibernaculum. These animals return to the same site year after year. The studies have shown that when these animals are relocated too far from where they are found, they cannot locate the denning area and are often unable to find (unwilling to accept?) other suitable hibernacula.
As far as your statement that you do not accept the bulk of what you have read - OK. I have seen some "experiments" (my term) that relocated animals to "suitable terrain" that didn't even have significant populations of the species to begin with. IMO, those studies pretty much doomed the animals - no surprise that they showed high mortality rates. Assuming that you have read some of the decent articles that were based on realistic and accurate studies, that is your option. But if you are going to summarily discount the ideas they present, what do you offer as proof/evidence of your own theories?

Harolds reply. Research has shown that very thing. Of course, how far are they moving it? It may not be out of there home range either.
