Last month we found out that PETA killed 27,000 animals, 95% of animals in their care!(finding homes for only 24 pets.)
In a similar vein, 100,000 birds are killed every year by GREEN WINDMILLS while a few scattered lizards prevent oil well drilling in the West Texas desert.
And NOBODY PROTESTS THEIR NEEDLESS DEATHS...Until today:
'Occupy Occupy DC' erects wind turbine to memorialize birds killed by wind turbines...

A report by the National Research Council estimated that wind turbines kill approximately 100,000 birds every year. The American Bird Conservancy claims the number could be triple that estimate -- affecting the songbird community most of all.
"At some point the slaughter of birds and bats by taxpayer-subsidized wind turbines is going to trigger serious legal action," added National Center Senior Fellow Bonner Cohen, Ph.D. "If the full force of the Migratory Bird Treaty and the Endangered Species Act were brought to bear on these unsightly killing machines, investors would turn their backs on this artificial industry in a heartbeat."
In California alone, the number of endangered eagles killed by GREEN WINDMILLS is staggering.
(The SILENCE from the "environmentalists" is deafening!)
