It's probably a firewall conflict here at work. I think the logic sounds kind of silly that they aren't worried about killing more of the already decimated bird population. That's like the logic that allows scientists to kill and dissect previously-thought extinct creatures to learn more about them (see the story about a spider that stopped the building of a highway, I think in Texas).
