Rush would have a field day covering this on his radio show. Hopefully he's seen this.

...has obtained a federal wildlife permit allowing the execution of up to 100 black vultures and 200 turkey vultures...

Uh-huh. Palm Beach Post employs PETA activists?

Managers of the landfill near 45th Street in suburban West Palm Beach say they’re trying to protect motorists on Florida’s Turnpike, where state troopers blame one recent crash on a close encounter of car vs. vulture.

Sounds like overreaction to me. Declare the whole thing a failure and kill the vultures because of one incident?

I'm no tree hugger, but I believe I'll side with those who want to protect the birds in this instance.

Sea gulls and dumps go together like Democrats and socialized medicine. You just can't seperate the two.

WHat really kills me...is that people are crying down here about lack of birds....and blame cats!! They don't realize that hurricanes, urban sprawl, chemicals sprayed on lawns and from the air....and now WIldlife Commission shooting them is the real reason we don't see any birds down here anymore! Ignorance....

[VRWCmember]

Yeah, but when they were told that "landfill vulture" is not a derogatory term for lawyer, the protestors were satisfied and backed off.

[Ron in Acreage]

Just claim the birds will be used to feed the homeless and all will be well. Who can oppose feeding the homeless?

In the same area, a 13-month-old girl almost drowned in a canal last year after her aunt swerved to avoid an unidentified, low-flying bird.

The problem here was the driver, not the bird.

[Covenantor]

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service defends the strategy, saying ....Once shot, the birds are supposed to be displayed as a deterrent.

Ummm....do they really think that carrion eaters will be deterred by more dead meat?

[ridesthemiles]

Your same Government is releasing wolves in Arizona and New Mexico, which are causing ranchers devasting losses.

Guess this covers the meaning of diversity???
