On Facebook tonight some people were mad because rich people put razor wire on tree branches to keep birds from crapping on their cars.
Actually,
starlings or English house sparrows are likely the birds that cluster in groups of hundreds and crap all
over cars and doorsteps from the trees above. They are a prolific
breeders, exotic bird that do not belong here, and a European import half genetically adapted to thrive around people. It is extremely
unpleasant and unsanitary to have your lovely car that you paid a
fortune on, dumped on repeatedly by these nasty birds. Sentimentality is
no substitute for the reality that people have rights too, even rich ones. Humans too have rights, and are able to influence nature and the environment around them to make it more conducive to their living well.
