MSNBC: Border Wall Even More Problematic Because Birds and Bats Might Not Be Able To Fly Over It-lol

Video...Comic relief.

Public service announcement: the border wall is even more problematic because animals and birds might be impacted. I wish I was kidding, but MSNBC ran a segment with biologist Jeff Corwin, where the latter said jaguars, the Mexican gray wolf, bats, and some birds might be impacted by the border wall’s construction.

“It would be an unprecedented environmental catastrophe,” said Corwin to host Craig Melvin.

Melvin began the segments discussing Rep. Raul Graijalva (D-AZ) and the Center for Biological Diversity’s lawsuit against the federal government over the border enforcement project. In California, the state legislature is considering punishing construction firms that participate in building the wall.

It's very possible, because birds are terrible flyers.

What about the huge wind turbines that suck in and kill thousands of migratory birds p, including American Bald Eagles? That’s a REAL problem!

They might have a point. (^;

I have a guinea that will run back and forth all day trying to figure out how to go over a 4’ welded wire fence. At some point it finally figures out that it can flap its wings 3 times and get over it.

Then the whole process starts over the next day.

For years.

If these damned seditious globalists actually gave a damn about flying animals they’d be seeking a ban on wind farms.

Same with those decrying how it makes a landscape “ugly”.

Do all the animals that cross the border have a passport and visa? If not then a wall is for their own good.

Total bunk.

Here is the real deal...

McCracken, Gary F. An ongoing research project is demonstrating that Mexican free-tailed bats go to great heights to intercept some of North America's most costly agricultural pests . . .
By Gary F. McCracken

Millions of bats emerge from the cave, climb higher than the eye can see, and disappear in the evening sky. Returning in the murky light of early morning, the bats appear to swoop straight down from the stratosphere, opening their wings to brake with a "phssst" at the cave's entrance. While not actually the stratosphere, the altitudes to which Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) fly is impressive. Radar studies of the bats from Bracken Cave in Texas show that they fly as high as 10,000 feet (3,000 m), with the densest aggregations at altitudes of 600 to 3,200 feet (200 to 1,000 m) above the ground...

https://www.metabunk.org/debunked-texas-weather-modification.t3854/

600 to 3,200 feet.

Even common core dummies could eventually figure out they could clear a 30 foot wall.

But good 'ol "always good to have you" (on MSDNC) Jeff Corwin would have you think it is "unprecedented environmental catastrophe."

The bird has to go to the check point and fly through there.

Is stopping Mexican wolves from getting to the sheep ranches of Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas a bad thing?
