AUSTIN, Texas -- If your cat killed a bird or one flew into a wall of your house and died, you'd be mighty surprised if a federal prosecutor showed up and said he was putting you in jail for that.

That's basically what an Austin-based businessman faced over two dead ducks who met their demise hundreds of miles from him in North Dakota.

Drill sites contain waste pools next to them, and sometimes, birds land in them and drown. Oilman Bud Brigham, head of Brigham Resources, found out a federal prosecutor was on the lookout for such incidents.

"A Justice Department appointee apparently chartered a helicopter to go search for this," Brigham told CBN News, "and flew around to all the different well sites in western North Dakota."

That's where oilmen like Brigham have kicked off an economic boom, going after the oil in the Bakken formation.

Did they happen to fly near any windmill farms and count the number of dead birds around them?

They should be easy to spot because the ground looks like it's covered in snow from all the bones.

Oh, and I forgot to add: You will also be charged a towing fee for each vehicle impounded, and approximately 25 dollars per day per vehicle, depending upon the impound yard where stored which you will have to pay in full AFTER your paperwork is stamped as corrected by the authorities and they verify that all applicable fees have been paid.

Did I mention that you must have valid insurance policies attached to all of them as well before they will release them to you?

We are in this shape today because we gave up tar and feathering.

Once capitalism is destroyed and the bureaucrats and party operatives are running what’s left of industry, these little “dust ups” will only be necessary to explain internal power struggles.

I think the Duck Dynasty guys would fix this problem PDFQ.
