People are bad for bird-people.

Super Alpha ++ Brain and semi-divine Being Donald Trump
is correct (Vivat! Vivat!) :

Wind turbines kill up to two million birds a year on land in the USA.
No numbers are available for coastal waters.

This is a tiny number compared with the two billion
torn apart by cats.  Then there are death-traps:
high buildings, lorries, trucks, nets, etc.
amounting to at least ten billion slaughtered birds :

a holocaust.  Where are the Shoah memorials ?
Nowhere.  I can find only cat-turds.

Talking of holocausts...in a dream the other night,
a Corporal Hitler came to me
delightfully naked (rather small willy)
and whispered sexily
into one of my deaf ears,

while angels sang Die Fahne hoch to a delightful melody.
It was moonlight at Stonehenge

Do you think (he gently barked) it may have been a bit 
excessive to make sub-humans pay
a hundredfold in advance
for the war crimes they would commit
in misplaced revenge ?

Omer Bartov has spent decades researching the second world war, antisemitism, Nazi indoctrination and historical amnesia, and has published 10 books about the Holocaust. So he speaks with considerable authority when he deplores the way the memory of the Shoah has been instrumentalized for political purposes, becoming “a vast fig leaf”, as he puts it in the book: “its lamentable effect to combine self-victimization and self-pity with self-righteousness, hubris and the euphoria of power”.
