Soooooooo he can get a permit to kill birds indiscriminately and I can't spotlight deer in my field because it interferes with their eating habits.
my son in law (a millville cop) was sent to investigate this.He told us it was poisoning before it hit the papers.My only comment is if this Ingraldi person wants to poison birds on his land he should make sure they die on his land.I would not want hi dead birds dropping all over my yard.
I thought you didn't own your yard, you're just "renting". (Just kidding, sorry, I couldn't pass that up. Please accept my apology).
I wonder if they make something similar that take care of my squirrel problem that I'm having this year.
Not exactly the same, but works great, quiet and leaves the squirrel non-toxic

Also illegal to buy or use in NJ unless you have a license, I think. Does it have the same restrictions for use in a residential area as a regular .22 rifle?
Not a license, but a firearm purchase permit, which every law abiding New Jerseyan should have. Very easy to get, as long as your not a felon. My wife just got hers and the handgun permit. We go shopping tomorrow.
Pretty sure that is something local govt controls, best to ask your local police department or the State Police. That is what I did. But, in NJ just about everything that can eject a projectile is considered a firearm, so be careful where you point your rear end

your right,I am renting and so is Ingraldi but as long as my rent is paid I don't want his dead birds falling in it.Gets a little stinky after a day or so.I thought you didn't own your yard, you're just "renting". (Just kidding, sorry, I couldn't pass that up. Please accept my apology).
will birds still crap on our windshields in the next life????
The story kinds sounds like something out of Rachel Carsons "Silent Spring"
The story kinds sounds like something out of Rachel Carsons "Silent Spring"
It's interesting that "Silent Spring" was published almost exactly 50 years ago and today it has become rather controversial: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Spring
The weekly Human Events gave Silent Spring an "honorable mention" in its list of the "Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries." [23] British politicianDick Taverne asserted Carson was responsible for millions of deaths:
The weekly Human Events gave Silent Spring an "honorable mention" in its list of the "Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries." [23] British politicianDick Taverne asserted Carson was responsible for millions of deaths:
Carson didn't seem to take into account the vital role (DDT) played in controlling the transmission of malaria by killing the mosquitoes that carry the parasite (...) It is the single most effective agent ever developed for saving human life (...) Rachel Carson is a warning to us all of the dangers of neglecting the evidence-based approach and the need to weight potential risk against benefit: it can be argued that the anti-DDT campaign she inspired was responsible for almost as many deaths as some of the worst dictators of the last century.[24]
