Just checked another website that said hunting kills 15,000,000 waterfowl birds a year in North America. But don't worry it's okay because there are extensive and well managed conservation policies in place to ensure numbers are secure.

Ok... so why the press on the oilsands for 2,000 birds then? Doesn't sound like they're going extinct.

edit:Also house cats an feral cats kill 500,000,000.

So basically articles that cry about energy efforts killing birds are total BS.

edit edit: also they do cite that oil and wastewater pits MAY kill up to 2,000,000 birds..................... maybe... we're not sure. But we wanted a big number in there.
