How stupid are these people. The birds will cope, they'll fly over the border and get cut down by windfarms. Like eagles.
To maintain some credibility MSNBC, go with something remotely relevant. The Mexican Wolf is endangered, their access might be "endangered" as well. Of course the US Government has a reintroduction program for them. So they'll cope. Mexican Owls, also endangered I believe, they can fly. There was a jaguar sighting in the Dos Cabezas Mountains a few weeks ago.
Jaguars in AZ, that's the animal you go with. Not generic "birds and bats". And there's evidence, a trailcam photo. Likely thanks to a local hunter.
