well then peta better invent a bird safe engine for airplanes or else they have nothing to complain about. and besides birds are gonna get hit by planes no matter what. do they expect us to somehow invent a plane that flys with no engines or something cause i think thats called a car.and hmm birds get hit by cars too so do they want us to ban the internal combustion engine as well and go back to riding horses? oh wait riding horses is wrong to i guess we have to walk everwhere
