I think it was aimed more at pet owners that got tired of thier ducks and dumped them on public lands. After all Muscovies grow up to be massive, they just keep growing. They don't stay cute and fluffy for long. On public lands they breed like crazy, have become ferral and are just out of control.
I see your from Florida, hope you enjoy crushing mosquitos too. Cause that population of critters is about to explode, without Scovies to help keep them controlled.
It is not open season on Muscovies. If you think it is you better read that law, before you find yourself in...trouble.
The new law is enforcable, however they are not at this time enforcing it. When they have made the revisions that are coming, it will be enforced by the various states and by local various agencies. Read the law itself, it is all spelled out. Will they go looking for Muscovies everywhere, no but in some areas of the country that asked for this law, yes they will and are rounding them up.
scovies ain't helping the skeeter population down here!
If they outlawed ducks because people dump ex-pets then Pekins would have been outlawed years ago. The local guy in charge of a big park with a series of ponds says he removes over 100 pekins every year and probably another 50 of other breeds of released domestics.
