You Can Help Save Endangered UK Quaker Parrots!

If you're a regular reader of BrooklynParrots.com, you know that wild Quaker Parrots in the United Kingdom have been singled out by DEPRA for extermination. In fact, secret trails were conducted in 2008 to perfect the lethal methods to be used in the forthcoming mass killing of these parrots. UK taxpayers were saddled with a 37,000 pound bill for these test killings, and apparently DEFRA wants another 90,000 to continue performing what one critic has deemed "a gung-ho ethnic cleansing of an alien species."

Simon Richardson, who lives in Borehamwood, is now challenging the government and has asked me to spread the word about his online petition protesting the proposed mass killings of these harmless, intelligent birds -- the same kind that we have in Brooklyn.

Please take a moment to sign Simon's online petition.  And thank you -- from endangered wild parrots everywhere!
