Feds Crack Down on Spring Migration

I’m trying to glean some humor from a serious issue here, but when you think about it, a crackdown on migrating birds isn’t all that far-fetched. The rules of reality have been tossed out completely, so why wouldn’t the government launch a massive, hysteria-inducing propaganda campaign against warblers? (Closely related: the Birds Aren’t Real site satirizing conspiracy theorists.)

They are, in fact, trying to undermine the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, with the Department of the Interior issuing an opinion that individuals and corporations should no longer be penalized for the incidental killing of protected birds (as tends to happen with oil spills and other industrial activities).
