Man made poisons are really not necessary today, but we are using them more now than ever before world wide. A short sighted solution to a growing human population that needs more food from our planet each year. This just can not continue at the rate it is going without accelerated eradication of life on the earth, first goes wildlife, then man itself. We all need to do our part to help in this growing global problem . What can we do?

Grow your own organic vegetables when you can, create your own fertilizer from composting, raise your own chickens for eggs, Buy local produce, support groups that foster changes that address these issues. 

Thank you Meredith for reminding all of us of the realities we face every day, and the unfortunate results it poses to all life itself, all as a result of man's ever increasing population of this fragile world we all live in.

AMEN! And thank you, Paul for your very articulate and sobering message which I totally agree with. What is also important to note is that we, much more so than birds and other wildlife, have choices in what we eat, purchase, how we live, and every action we take which all have an impact, footprints upon the Earth. We all need to be more mindful of our choices.
