Wild birds often wander into stores such as Walmart, Home Depot, and Sam’s Club, they do this to forage for food or to escape the cold.  Once inside it impossible for them to safely escape on their own because they become disoriented and traumatized.

Unknown to you and the rest of the customers, the big box stores hire pest control to come in after hours to kill these trapped birds using inhumane methods - by using sticky traps and/or shooting them with pellet or bb guns. They also destroy nests, nestlings, and unhatched eggs, killing all the babies. The killings are indiscriminate, with no distinction between unprotected and protected birds and could be in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. 

These corporations hypocritically support humane organizations, yet torture vulnerable birds – protected or not - that find themselves trapped in stores. 

Sign this petition for the sake of the Birds we share our beautiful world with. We want  Walmart, Home Depot, and Sam’s Club to practice the fallowing:

To stop their unethical and inhumane shooting and trapping, and killing of all birds found trapped in their stores no mater how protected they are.

To implement humane, non-lethal catch and no-touch release traps to remove birds from the store and safely release them outdoors, and make evaluation reports available for public review.

To develop ethical and humane prevention and preparedness management plans, and make available for public review.

Require training to all staff to build awareness of humane bird control measures, working with humane organizations on curricula.

Employ only contractors that practice ethical and humane trap installation and bird removal.

If you sign and the big box stores make a change this could save the lives of millions of innocent birds. Share this and sign for the sake of the birds.

Thanks to Sue Ellen Davis for making the original petition idea.
