South Carolina BMW Plant Repairs Netting After PETA Alerts It to Dying Birds

A BMW truck driver in Greer, South Carolina, called PETA to report that birds were dying from being trapped behind a dilapidated net installed years ago to prevent them from roosting in the rafters of the plant.

We received a letter from BMW admitting that the net needed repairs and promising to repair it.
