More Than 200 Birds Were
Poisoned in Australia. Authorities Must Find the
Perpetrator! | | |
Little
corellas, or short-billed corellas, are playful birds.
The members of this white cockatoo subspecies are
extremely social and loves to spend time with members of
their flocks, even to the point of mischievousness,
getting into all kinds of silly shenanigans
together.
Or, they did. Until hundreds of
them started showing up dead in New South Wales,
Australia. The likely culprit? Poisoning
by illicit pesticide use.
So
far, no one knows which pesticides were used or where
exactly. What we do know is that, according to
the Environmental Protection Authority of New South
Wales, pesticide misuse is illegal. Punishments for
misuse include fees of up to $2 million for corporations
or $500,000 for individuals.
Australia is
one of the most biodiverse countries in the entire
world. Approximately 46% of the birds and 69%
of the mammals in Australia only live there — nowhere
else. Upwards of 1.75 million animal, plant, and
microorganism species can be found there. So
it's imperative that authorities act quickly to protect
other populations from possible pesticide
poisoning!
Luckily, government officials
are investigating these mass deaths. But we have to make
sure they keep going until they find out who is
responsible and hold them accountable. Sign the petition to
demand that the Australian government identify the
culprit(s) behind the mass poisoning of sweet little
corella
birds!
