YES The more lengthy message from yesterday referred to a bunch of examples throughout the nation taking very similar steps. Links were given so folks could read all those reports, across the nation. Maryland examples include: Anacostia River in Prince George's County and into D.C., Montgomery County, Salisbury, & Ocean Pines.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: In 2019, Salisbury partnered with the US Dept. of Agriculture who used a waterfowl processor to euthanize with carbon dioxide and prepare the meat for the food banks and food shelters. I suspect OPA followed the same process in 2018. |
