Urge TransLink to Ditch Dangerous Netting That’s Trapping Birds!
PETA has received reports that bird-deterrent netting has been installed at the 22nd Street subway station in New Westminster, BC. Reportedly, some birds are currently trapped behind the netting, while others have already perished—likely succumbing to dehydration or starvation after struggling mightily to escape. Although deterrent netting is meant to be nonlethal, reports of it falling into disrepair or being installed incorrectly therefore leading to fatalities are unfortunately common.
We reached out to decision-makers asking them to promptly release any trapped birds, and to replace the netting with humane deterrents that are harmless and effective, but we understand the netting remains up. Please lend your voice!
Politely urge TransLink’s Board of Directors to take swift action to free any currently trapped birds, and to remove the netting permanently to prevent future tragedy. Remember that it is crucial to remain polite and respectful, as rude correspondence can hurt our efforts!
