las vegas squeaker in distress

[Ratmando]

Just a quick check in- turns out the neighbor just admitted she's been using some stuff she had in from her home town in Mexico. I'm bringing a sample to the docs to compare it to the blood sample. She laughed at me when I told her she was killing the birds!

CJ, call the police. it may be illegal to put any such product in or on public property. use your chemical report to make the complaint.

CJ...........I am so upset to hear this. I have had neighbor troubles in the past both poisioning & shooting the birds with BB guns. My upstairs windows have been shot out. I've had the police here, and they did nothing but make out a report.

You can try calling the SPCA, but they aren't friendly towards piegons.

You can try and talk to the neighbor to stop.....if she has a heart maybe you can convience her how crule it is. Unfortunately most of these people who do this have no regard for the life of living things and it's impossible to get through to them.

I held that poor little bird. I am so angry that it died this way and my heart just aches with worry for the other birds around your home.

Please call me if there is anything I can do to help you.

Regards,
Louise

Hello Ratmando,

So sorry to hear about this. We have city laws here in Montreal that forbid any capturing, killing or poisoning of wild life. Our neighbor was bbgunning doves and received a 400$ fine and was arrested.

Please look into this matter. It is also a question of public health.

I'm ready to sign any petition.

Take care
Susan

Here in NYC, even the city and the parks dep'ts must POST any area that is baited with rodent poisons and the baits must be in approved containers that are pets, birds and children resistant. I would call in some kind of enforcement group... Health dep't.... EPA....ASPCA...

Thanks everyone..I filed a complaint with the Clark County folks..I'm hoping they will care enough to do something, but the Lied Shelter, in charge of our "Domestic Animal Welfare" services, doesn't seem very helpful. They said, "unless we have proof, we can't charge her with anything." I said, "dead animals, and a sample of the stuff enough?" Then I pointed out where the two were buried, and one of the guys unburied them and took them with him for testing.
