Thats just your imposing and commanding nature!!!
From what I can find, you need to just record where, when and how many harlequins you've seen to the harlequin survey, run by the University of Cambridge. They are monitering where they are, and say you should shouldnt see the 'birds over the winter as they'll hibernate out of sight.
No need for mass murder!
