Stop Organized Neighborhood Bird Shoots

Cheep cheeps are like mother nature's juke boxes

Please pass this ordinance. These are beautiful creatures that do not deserve this.

This is an outrage. There are humane ways to abate the birds. This must be stopped. I signed this petition last week, but for some reason my name is not showing.

There is a better way to handle this. Please ban this unnecessary and inhumane killing.

Man’s need for dominion over the earth & animals has become blindly self-absorbed & obsurd...

Lets's do the same to the golfers!!!

Please put a stop to killing innocent animals for what ? Golf?

Barbaric, inhumane, and cruel.

Let's stop this fast please sign the petition

Go vegan

I feel this is a disgustingly inhumane way to control this all for a bunch of golfers.

Please stop this nonsense. This is not justified or humane.

Inhumane people who value sentient beings less than a golf course don't deserve to live in nice communities such as Rancho Mirage. Still going on in the Desert? We haven't come very far.

This needs to stop.

Being awakened all year by weekly gunshots for a 1/2 hour and watching an armed guard retrieve bloody bird carcasses is more than traumatic! It is cruel, sickening and frightening. Many of our guests have said they would never live in Rancho Mirage because of this.

We enjoy looking at beautiful birds & listening to their relaxing songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQJhEMa_uvQ It is a crime against nature to slaughter such innocent beauty

Please make it illegal to kill birds within Rancho Mirage city limits.

When I still lived in Rancho Mirage, I wrote to one of the news programs that was always asking for leads for issues of concern that their team could look into. Crickets. They just didn't see it as concerning, whereas I was mortified each time I heard guns popping in the nearby golf course. I knew full well what they were doing, and it upset me to no end. I agree with you. There are golf courses that employ companies that bring dogs to the course, not to kill the coots but to drive them away. That's the most humane answer to this "problem." Sickens me that it's still going on in the desert. Please do something to stop this cruel treatment of birds simply trying to live in the shrinking habitat we've left for them.

I am ashamed to be of the human race sometimes that we could do this while discussing merger and slaughter for the convenience of our swimming pools is beyond bearable

This is a useless procedure, creates an unnecessary noise violation with the extraordinary loud booms in the hours off 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. that are often directly outside my bedroom and frightens my dog into hyperventilating and shivering. There are many other effective methods to shoo these pesky birds away, even a dog running alongside the lagoons is effective and silent.
