I saw this on my home page too.  I understand both sides, but people forget humans can think and rationalize, birds operate by instinct.  I'm so glad there are government sanctions in place.  Good heavens...if they had paid attention 5 years ago, they would have everything in place now with less hassle and probably at less cost.  I really have a hard time with attitudes like that!

How awful for the poor birds. Sad

Meanwhile, island residents like Rich Rapozo warned that some people are talking about refusing to rescue birds they see on the ground in protest of the Saturday games.
