Strange happenings in the United States of America. Been hearing numerous reports hundreds of birds in different reports were dropping dead from the sky. The reasons were scattered into mystery until now.
In the article that i had read today on January 24, 2010 from the front pages of Yahoo! The mystery has been solved.
The USDA (United States Department of Agruiculture) used poisons to kill off 200 starlings that were causing eating the cattle feed and leaving waste on the feed and farm equipment.
In my opinion, this sounds like a very unethical strategy implemented that is surposedly used regularly. Whenever situations arised, the use of the chemical DRC 1339 is used as a last resort. This was explained by USDA wildlife biologist Ricky Woods.
There must be other options before sending orders to send out the execution squad to poison birds or any groups of animals.
Yes, i can see that the use of chemical may be most costs affective way of dealing with any group of animals, but there must be other alternatives used before poisoning and killing animals off. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/hundreds-south-dakota-dead-birds-poisoned-usda-20110120-145454-240.html
