I am a resident of Port Stanley, ON, Canada and I have personally witnessed the devastating effects of speeding on our local wildlife. Our beloved Warren Street has become a death trap for innocent animals due to drivers exceeding the current speed limit.

The problem is not just local but global; according to a report by the Humane Society International, millions of animals are killed each year due to vehicle collisions (Humane Society International). This is not only heartbreaking but also disrupts our ecosystem.

Reducing the speed limit on Warren Street from its current limit down to 40 km/h can significantly decrease these incidents. Studies show that lower speed limits result in fewer accidents involving wildlife (Journal of Wildlife Management).

Our community values its natural environment and we must do everything we can to protect it. By reducing the speed limit, we can ensure safer roads for both drivers and wildlife alike.

We urge our local authorities in Port Stanley, ON, Canada to take immediate action on this matter. Please sign this petition if you believe in creating safer roads for all inhabitants - human or animal - of our beautiful town.
