even that is hard....tattooing might work but the implants can only be read 
with certain equipment which all places don't have and how do you bring the 
equipment TO the stolen bird to check it out...according to the law you can't 
just take the bird away from the person so if he leaves with the bird the 
chances of finding it again are slim and none...

yup...human nature is always looking for a bargain...at any expense...sure 
would like to be rich because it woudl be so great to buy up these birds and 
get them back with their owners...

that's the way with all the laws...the ones that makethem are not affected by 
them at all..they live in lifestyles far above what the normal person does so 
if it doesn't concern them it doesn't exist...

Unfortunately the dogs are being shot or poisoned..too bad people couldn't 
afford video cameras...that might help stop them if they were on film..at 
least there would be some evidence....but I think at that point I'd rather 
have evidence of a dead body (human that is)...save the world a lot of 
ief..
