Where do you report these things? Birds are being poisoned at the garden center I work in and its terrible and hopefully illegal…? I can’t really find an office to contact though… wildlife commission or something, no?

You will remember the dead birds when your city is polluted with the fried food and other waste these birds eat in the fast food parking lots. All the garbage they consume is all the shit that falls on the buildings. Your choice on the parking lots or you buildings.

On the 10 of january the ‘Australian’ reported scores of birds dying and convulsing in the town of Esperance, southeast of Perth, Australia.

Certainly unusual, and not recorded before.

Could the two incidents be linked ?

Dear Susan from the great state of California. I am a native Austinite, An IDA member, a PETA member, love animals, and also hope the perps, if any, get a felony conviction. Nuff said?

Actually it’s not uncommon for property owners to hire professional exterminators for birds as readily as they will for rodents or insect infestations. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that this was either the result of hired exterminators or someone taking it into their own hands to just toss poison seed around.

…personally I can’t say I care much one way or another.

Human greed and denial will cost us our lives and the planet. Sadly, all of us, even those that support responsible behavior, will be
sucked into the quagmire. The irresponsible, blind, selfish and greedy have the force of numbers….and many like themselves amongst the powerful.

There are a lot of sick people making comments here. I may be one of them with my revelation. Personally, I would rather see tons of human beings drop dead than any kind of other animal ( yes, humans are animals too, religious fanantics ). We care about nothing other than ourselves, period. Very few of us actually care about species other than ourselves. It’s the people that don’t care about anything or anyone but themselves that are the people I could care less about and I’d rather see you folks croak than a bird or a deer or what have you. How’s that for ya? Make ya feel good? Afterall, feeling good and feeling superior to others are the hallmarks of humans. I’ll stay here up in the mountains with my other animal buddies while you city dwellers start croaking from all the carnage YOU created. You get what you deserve, after all – it’s called karma. And don’t get me wrong here, I do not WISH death on anyone, I’m only saying I’d rather see humans die than other animals if it’s going to happen.
