The Lyrics

Animal rights fanatics (not advocates!) are a unique breed unto themselves. I was therefore suprised that, although large numbers of birds including eagles and spotted owls are killed annually by "green" electric-generating wind turbines, this is not a cause for which they show concern. In fact, they challenge the stats. Are birds less deserving of their attention? Is it a trade-off with environmentalists? I'll be damned if I know! ;D


There are birds killed by wind turbines. We don't care!
'Though we're always out protesting - we're not there.
For although it's cruel and mean
It's the price we'll pay for "green".
'Tis a fact we tell the bloggers not to share.

Many spotted owls and eagles now have died.
It's okay for E.P.A. is on our side.
We'll ignore these facts, forsooth!
It's "An Inconvenient Truth",
So the feathered body count we have denied.

As a rule we would be marching in the streets.
We'd be yelling "ban all fur" and "outlaw meats".
But our outrage neatly ends
When it comes to flying friends.
We won't miss their loud annoying chirps and tweets.

Let the western farmland turn to desert? Fine!
For the numbers of one fishy might decline.
Yet we'll look the other way
As the blades make bird pate'.
We won't say a word or make a single sign.

Listen up, you Mother Nature-hating dolts,
Just in case our silence gives you major jolts.
If you ask, we'll tell you why
We don't care if birdies die.
It's because they pooped on our new Chevy Volts.

We'll dispute that there's a massacre, and yet
No one wants to see these creatures hurt - you bet.
Still we'll put our qualms aside
As we all go for a ride
On our guru Al Gore's sumptious private jet.



My, how times have changed! In the late 1970's, environmentalists and animal fanatics forced General Electric's aircraft division to stop using dead birds to test the effects on their jet engines. DEAD birds...not LIVE birds. Too bad Colonel Sanders doesn't generate "green" electricity. ;D

I find this funny because I'm currently in school learning about renewable energy and this has come up. Kudos!

One funny line after another.

An inconvenient truth, indeed. I know of an all-glass building in North Kansas City that is surrounded by dead birds. They can't distinguish it from the sky and fly into the reflections of clouds and sun on the glass. While I was walking around it I could hear everything from pigeons to migrating geese crashing into the thing.

I must print this and leave a copy at PETA HQ in nearby Norfolk VA. Your "blades" knocked down so many green "fowls" that I lost count.

Those thingies have the moniker "bird shredder" here in Finland. The problem is well recognized.
