Court says no to blackbird scare tactics

TREMPEALEAU COUNTY, Wis. For the second time a Trempealeau County farmer’s legal challenge to a bird-scare gun ordinance has failed. Wendell and Carlton Klein jointly farm the 500-acre King Farms operation in the town of Trempealeau. They have deployed 31 propane-powered automatic bird canons to keep blackbirds from eating their crops before harvest. The Kleins have used non-lethal noise makers since 1962 but residential development has since surrounded their farm and led the town in 2013 to require a permit to use a scare gun. The Kleins were cited in violation of the ordinance but found not guilty at trial. Their challenge to the ordinance was dismissed in 2014 by a circuit judge and a year later by a court of appeals.
