Animal News (Except Bigcats)

A reason why people tend to be vegetarians is to avoid having animals killed for them, but this (https://www.birdguides.com/news/millions...terranean/, https://www.birdguides.com/news/millions...terranean/) shows that even plant-farming can kill a lot of animals. Who'd imagine that harvesting olives can lead to millions of birds being killed annually?

In Spain, 2.6 million birds die every year from being vacuumed, and in Portugal, 96,000 birds die per year. Birds from northern Europe winter in these countries, and are at risk while roosting at night, according to [b]BirdGuides[/b]. The noise and light of the machines dazzle the birds, which are sucked into suction olive harvesting machines and killed." |
