Can you point to these statements from 'authorities'? Do they say "we do not support a cull" or do they actually not mention 'what happens next'?

But again, and I'm sick of pointing this out to you, there is a difference between possibility and probability. Can you please stop conflating them? The RSPB has not issued a statement denying the possibility that there are breeding Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in the New Forest. But ask them about the probability....</blockquote>
