Urge Virginia DOT to Stop Killing Starlings
Excerpt from PETA:
"The Virginia Department of Transportation's (DOT) plans to use the notorious avicide DRC-1339 to destroy starlings in and around the Benjamin Harrison Bridge near Hopewell. Allegedly, the DOT began poisoning the birds this week and plans to continue to poison the animals until they are all dead."
Tell DOT officials they have no business cruelly mass-poisoning birds.
This is a one-time pledge that can be fulfilled any time.

I have a pet european starling and they are great birds, very smart, though they make a mess we can try to contain them or keep them away from problem areas some how, they are a part of nature why would we kill them off? Do not kill the starlings!!

Please check out this important information about birds who are being poisoned in Virginia! The Virginia Department of Transportation is allegedly using DRC-1339, a notorious avicide--to kill starlings. The sad truth is that poisons are cruel and ineffective and should never be used to control flocks!
Please click the link below to send a quick note to Virginia DOT officials urging them to remove all poison on and around the Benjamin Harrison Bridge and to explore humane flock-control methods that are both affordable and effective.

Anyone who would kill a bird any bird is the lowest of the low. Do not kill the starlings they are very important to our environment. Do your homework on them. They eat many nuisance bugs that invade our gardens by the hundreds. As a gardener I welcome them in my garden. How dare you even think of killing these wonderful creatures.
