Roy to say that the environmental groups are asleep at the switch is an
understatement - not only are they asleep - they are in a coma.

Are they any better off than some of the other industry funded special
interest groups?

In recognition of its first year in Canada - FIDO (a wireless company) made
a donation to the SPCA.

Seems to me I put the question some time ago to PETA (People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals) if they had a policy on cell towers.  If I remember
correctly the answer was - it never occurred to them.

There was the problem with the homing pigeons about a year ago on the
eastern seaboard.

Then there is the web site http://www.towerkill.com/ that people might find
of interest.

Perhaps people on the list should be looking at the different environmental
groups and boycotting those that deny there is a problem with the cell
towers and siting.
