Thread: USDA found to be poisoning bird populations, causing mass die-offs

Great article Prince. I have been following this event on the news recently. I believe one report claimed that the birds got caught in hail high up in the atmosphere. Now we know the truth.

Its pretty scary what our government perceives as right and wrong as of late. Some of these assholes believe that they can play God and that there will be no repercussions from it.

Wow, that explains it all.

And if the USDA poisons birds because certain groups become too populous, what do you suppose is planned for when human population grows too large?

Is this a bad thing? I know of a few housing projects where this might improve the neighborhood.

European Starling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Although there are approximately 200 million starlings in North America, they are all descendants of approximately 60 birds (or 100 [1]) released in 1890 in Central Park, New York, by Eugene Schieffelin, who was a member of the Acclimation Society of North America reputedly trying to introduce to North America every bird species mentioned in the works of William Shakespeare.[36]
As an introduced species, European Starlings are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.[37] Starlings are considered a nuisance species in North America. The birds, which travel in enormous flocks, often pose dangers to air travel, disrupt cattle operations, chase off native birds, and roost on city blocks. They leave behind corrosive droppings and hundreds of millions of dollars of damage every year. In 2008, U.S. government agents poisoned, shot and trapped 1.7 million starlings, more than any other nuisance species.[38]

As much as I love animals you can't have one species scare off our native animals.

Hey! This doesn't belong here.

i believe i stated this in other posts about it that it was very likely from chemical runoffs from mobile meth labs in arkansas and missours that killed the birds.......i hate to brag that i'm a genious but it sure seems that i'm mensa material!!!
