            Owls, sparrows, and many more birds could go totally extinct 
thanks to Trump's irresponsible policies!

                 Vladimir,

                  Birdcalls in the morning are becoming quieter. As the sun 
rises, these chipper friends often rise too, welcoming the start of the day. 
But now, our morning singers are at risk of disappearing completely — and 
it's thanks to Trump's Environmental "Protection" Agency (EPA). Determined 
to protect profits above everything else, the EPA has rolled back 
restrictions on pesticides that are so toxic, they're actually illegal in 
many parts of the world. Farmers are particularly fond of neonicotinoids, 
which have been linked to massive bee population loss, and they're also 
taking a toll on our avian friends.

                  They apply poisonous neonicotinoids to their crops by 
treating the seeds before planting — meaning that birds eating these seeds 
are immediately exposed to the deadly toxins. Even when the seeds have 
become a full-grown plant, the noxious chemicals remain in every part of the 
crop, ready to kill future animals. In one U.S. county where eonicotinoids 
were used, bird populations dropped by more than 2% compared to other areas 
where safer pesticides were used. The U.S. and Canadian bird populations 
combined have plummeted by almost 30% in the past 50 years. But because 
these toxins have long, lasting effects on bird populations like owls, 
sparrows, and meadowlarks, we likely won't know the true magnitude of the 
devastation for years. Sign the petition and demand that the EPA immediately 
ban the use of neonicotinoids in the U.S.!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. Birds that are just trying to find a meal are being 
murdered by same toxic pesticides that the EPA wants to sign off on. Sign 
the petition to demand a sweeping ban on neonicotinoids!
