Explains the prosecution of seven oil companies in ND over 28 dead birds, found on a very few of over 6000 producing locations. The Federal Prosecutor wanted $15000 per bird and jail time for oil company execs. That in a year with all-time record snowfall, a severe blizzard (power out to 6000 square miles), and without determining cause of death of the birds.
Thankfully, the judge threw it out.
