You Freepers think a bird's just going to fly over a wall, but that's not necessarily the case ... especially the dumb ones that are already suffering from global warming ...

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is weighing in on the proposed wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, claiming it would be “death-inducing” for a number of species.

PETA opposes a border wall because it spells certain death by starvation and thirst and the end of access to foraging and nesting ground—as well as blocking the migratory paths.[Snip]
Even the conservative National Wildlife Federation called the wall "one of the biggest potential ecological disasters of our time."

"You think a bird's just going to fly over a wall, but that's not necessarily the case," Dr. Aaron D. Flesch, a research scientist at the University of Arizona, says in the PETA article posted on its website.

PETA claims that these same animals are already suffering because of "habitat loss" and climate change, and a wall would add to that by limiting access to food, water, and "potential mates."

I wonder if they felt the same sort of outrage over the Berlin Wall.
Anybody ever told PETA about the bird-grinders? (Wind turbines)
What’s death-inducing for birds are the wind turbines. Has PETA protested those? Yeah, didn’t think so. A wall...not so much.
Problem already solved with the slatted wall.
Don’t forget the Humpback Slugs. PETA is DISCRIMINATING against the Humpback Slugs!!!
They are really grasping at straws.
Oh wait, they’ve outlawed straws, so they can’t even grasp at them.
Not having a wall is death-inducing to humans on both sides of the border.
The wall will also cause climate change.
Good.
Do birds and butterflies think that they are immune from immigration laws?
Because they are not.
And are Mehico and Central America sending us their best birds a butterflies?
No, they are not. They are probably just sending butt flies.
If the Greenies were smart they would put solar cells round wind mills. That way the killed birds could fall on the solar cells which the sun has warmed. The solar cells would cook the birds and then people could eat fricassee pigeon.
Free energy and free food all in one!

PETA: Wind turbines ‘Death-Inducing,’ Even for Birds and Butterflies /fixed
Far more environmental damage is caused by innumerable human feet trampling what would be an otherwise pristine environment suitable for these self-same “threatened” species, as well as the disease vectors, waste, and trash dropped during the passage of these human beings on their clandestine dash across the US territorial boundaries.
The specious reasoning promoted by PETA is a disguise for their real agenda, which is to disrupt the normal channels of commerce and well-developed economic models.
Correct. The WALL is life inducing.
I’m sure they are in favor of abortion. If they feel it is OK to kill babies I don’t care about killing a few birds and butterflies. So there.
The birds in the southwest have to walk their migration routes and a wall would interrupt that natural path.
That kept a lot of people safe for more than a couple of thousand years.
“You think a bird’s just going to fly over a wall, but that’s not necessarily the case,”
Unless you’re a dodo bird which has been extinct for like 4 centuries, or an ostrich, which isn’t native to the Arizona and New Mexico deserts. Then yes, that is the case.
Hmmm??? “death-inducing”... is that kinda like New York’s abortion law? YaKnow... the one passed to the wild cheers of the Democrats? Just wunderin’?
