Ok hypocrite, lets look at bird deaths overall. here are US numbers.
Birds killed by pesticides per year, 67,000,000
Birds killed by auto/trucks, up to 100,000,000
Birds killed by power lines, 174,000,000
Birds killed by house cats, 100,000,000
Birds killed by collisions with glass windows, up to 900,000,000
Birds killed by hunters, 100,000,000.
So, even if you add the 40%, we have 140,000,000.
Looks like it doesn't rank as worth while, huh fool? 40 million vrs, 1300+
million.
What you should do first is stop driving, stop eating your factory-farmed
veggies, get off the internet, kill your cat,
and... like the old saying says, Those that live in glass houses
shouldn't throw the first stones, eh killer?
