Former Media resident condemns imported bird business
Greta Nilsson, once of Media, exposes the bird import trade in a study funded by the Animal Welfare Institute and Humane Society. She cites 1976 customs data showing 282000 birds and a 36 percent loss before reaching pet shops, with mortality up to 80 percent for some species. Smugglers use clever concealment while border patrols seized 3000 Mexican birds, representing about 1 percent of the black market. Newcastle disease outbreaks in 1971 and 1972 are noted as context to risks.
