100 DEAD CROWS alongside a highway in Oregon was investigated by the State Wildlife experts. They determined that the deaths were not from a bird flu or any virus, but vehicular. 98 crows were struck by TRUCKS and only 2 by cars. The experts concluded that the crows were able to avoid most cars, because of the cars low profile and aerodynamic windshields that carried the birds up and over the vehicle safely. Such was not the case with trucks. They concluded the birds, because of the busy highway, had to eat the roadkill until the last second before flying in order to get enough to eat.
Wildlife experts were concerned because crows are a protected bird and requested a judge ban trucks from this busy Oregon highway. The judge ruled that a PETA scientist and activist would study the crows in this area for 7 days at a budget of $100,000 of tax payer's money. The PETA expert's conclusion would be heard and a ruling made at that time.
THE PETA REPORT
I observed several hundred crows over the last 7 days feasting on roadkill left on the Oregon highway. The crows, all 7 days, had a watch out bird posted on the power line alongside the highway. As vehicles approached the watch out bird would call out … "caw … caw … caw" … whether it was a car or truck. The watch out bird always called out on the trucks, but the feasting birds, never looking up didn't differentiate. I would suggest as a solution, that bird language experts teach lookout crows to say "tra … tra … tra" and identity experts teach crows to differentiate between a car and a truck.
THE JUDGES RULING
Ignorance is NO excuse for violating the law. I find the watch out birds guilty of bird slaughter and order them all rounded up and imprisoned on a bird refuge where they will be fed choosing from a vast organic menu, groomed daily, receive state of the art medical attention, have access to a full equipt gym and a personal workout trainer as well as an unlimited education, until which time they can demonstrate satisfactory language and vehicular identity skills to return to the wild.
