                 Vladimir,

                  The Trump Administration has the blood of millions of 
birds on its hands. In its latest giveaway to corporate industries, the 
administration has gutted the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), allowing 
them to rake in the profits by ignoring bird conservation. Prior to Trump, 
the MBTA imposed stiff penalties on businesses and people who kill migratory 
birds in the course of construction and operation. It's credited with saving 
whole species, like the snowy egret, from extinction. But now, under Trump's 
new rule, there is nothing stopping the mass slaughter of these vulnerable 
birds.

                  It's all baked into the "intentionality loophole." As long 
as a corporation can claim they merely killed birds by accident — otherwise 
known as the "oops" defense — they can get away with it. This loophole 
effectively nullifies the entire MBTA law. Developers and other businesses 
are jumping at this opportunity, cancelling more than a dozen 
bird-preservation projects. Now that killing birds is no longer punishable, 
these corporations won't have to think twice about the avian deaths they 
cause. The Trump administration needs to know we're paying attention and 
won't stand for this. Sign the petition to demand that the Trump 
Administration rescind their policy that could condemn billions of birds to 
death.

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. Trump has potentially doomed billions of birds to 
die. Sign the petition to save the Migratory Bird Treaty Act before entire 
species perish.
