I was standing in my backyard this morning with my dogs and looking around. I realized that this time last year the trees were full of Cattle Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Blue Heron, Green Heron, Yellow Night Crowned Heron and Black Night Crowned Heron. You could not even step outside with out a mask on the smell and ammonia levels were overwhelming. The noise from all the birds was constant. If you went out front you had better have an umbrella or you were getting pooped on. There was hand sanitizer, alcohol bottles and mask by every door. Shoes were not allowed in the house do to the hazardous waste you had to walk through in the yards.
I am so proud of my neighborhood for banning together to fight the birds this year. I am proud for my city for listening and stepping up to help the residents of the entire city this year. I feel sorry for all the individuals who are going through what we went through last year.
I keep hearing the law can't be changed with several excuses attached. What I really hear is it is too hard and we don't want to put in the time. The individuals who have been impacted by this outdated law need to ban together to get it changed.
It can and will be done...no one should suffer through what we went through last year.
