Egged on by industry lobbyists, Interior Dept. weakens bird protections

Oil blackens the banks of a pond in Washington County, Colorado, in 1995. A recent legal decision by the Interior Department revoked federal officials' ability to prosecute and fine companies that accidentally killed birds with oil pits, wind turbines or other industrial hazards.

This bird, found in an oil company waste pit in central Kansas in 1997, had to be euthanized. Trapped birds often die slowly; they can starve to death, suffocate, die of exposure or absorb poisons. Credit: Courtesy of Gary Mowad
