Animal rights activists pick and choose what they are outraged about. In 1975 they delayed by three years the building of a dam in Tennessee because of a 3-inch-long fish called the snail darter. Today windmills kill over 500,000 birds, including the American eagle, and solar panel farms fry over 100,000 birds each year; birds actually burst into flames after flying into concentrated beams of sunlight. I guess some people love their electric cars more than animals.
