Leave it to the animal rights and enviro wackos to team up to give us this example of liberal double standards





You may have gotten wind of the seven North Dakota oil companies recently charged (http://news.yahoo.com/oil-companies-charged-nd-migratory-bird-deaths-213924170.html) in federal court with the deaths of 28 migratory birds.

The birds allegedly landed in oil waste pits in western North Dakota last spring; the maximum penalty for each charge under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is six months in prison and a $15,000 fine, the AP said.
But did you know that wind-power companies are responsible for more than 400,000 bird deaths annually, and not one has faced a single charge

The Wall Street Journal knows it, opining yesterday that the prosecutions are “bird-brained,” especially when wind-power outfits routinely beat the rap:


The companies have pleaded not guilty, though they are not unamazed. They say they’re not responsible for the bird deaths and that, even if they were, the deaths were “incidental” to lawful commercial activity in full compliance with all environmental laws.


Law enforcement officials we talked to in North Dakota say they can’t remember such a case ever going to court. One local commentator calls it “the most absurd legal action taken by the government in the history of North Dakota.” One of the charged oil companies “even went to U.S. Fish and Wildlife and self-reported a number of birds, asking what else they could do soon after they had found the dead birds,” reports the Plains Daily (http://plainsdaily.com/entry/psc-kevin-cramer-prosecutions-over-dead-birds-are-%E2%80%9Cchilling%E2%80%9D/), North Dakota’s statewide newspaper.

Remember one of the basic foundations of liberals and liberalism Gaffer

The actual results of their programs and ideas do not matter. Only their good intentions mtter

So if 400,000 birds per year die due to the libs dreams of wind power that is not importnat

Just like the $500 million lost in the Solyndra deal does not rwaly matter. Obama wanted to do well and his intentions were good.

Yeah, I know how they think. If I ran into one of these environuts I would have to pop him upside the head a few times. My intentions are good, I just want to knock some sense into him. In a physical confrontation I really would have to be restrained.

If you wanted to knock some sense into them you would have to kick them in the ass

Obama is missing out on alot of moeny here Gaffer. $15,000 for each dead bird. Look at the money Obama could put into his "jobs" bill if he was able to collect off 400,000 dead birds at $15 grand per decapitated bird

A bird flew into my windshild the other day on my way home from work. Will I get a summons from the Obama Justice Dept later this week?

How do they know it wasn't bird suicide or bird bullying or bird hazing gone wrong?

I think you're onto something there--maybe the local birds attacking the migrant ones... damned bird unions:laugh:
