Default Kenya is Using Poison in Drones to Kill Birds, that eat their crop

They showed
an African in Kenya Fitting
the Poison Big Can onto the Drone
That sprayed onto the Birds
to kill them all.

This is a Fast way of saving a crop
but that deadly Poison
then goes into the Ground

So it is Stupid
but understandable as no crop
no money



Just on France24HD



[Toxic pesticides used to eradicate grain-eating quelea birds]

[The spraying of fenthion,
an organophosphate pesticide,
has been the method of choice in
fighting the pests in Africa,
but the chemical has been described
by researchers as “toxic to humans and to
other non-target organisms”.

“Fenthion can therefore injure
or kill indiscriminately,
with consequent adverse effects on
non-target organisms,”
the reasearchers concluded.]

Can't they do this to the seagulls who pinch your food at the seaside?

Sounds rather risky using poison near crops … presumably some of the poisoned birds will die on the farmland as well ??
