Gulls love dumps. In eastern Ontario we have a huge landfill site at Carp, near Hwy 417, a busy thoroughfare feeding Ottawa.

Back in the 70's the federal government grew a test plot of marijuana at the experimental farm. I remember working in the area and watching the kid they had hired to crawl around shooting rats with a pellet gun inside the chain-link fencing.

Anyway, they harvested the hemp and passed the surplus on to the RCMP for disposal. It sat for a couple of years in an evidence warehouse and eventually they sent it to the Carp dump for disposal, where the cautious workers burned it. A huge, funky cloud hovered over the landfill site that day. Its effects were not lost on the local gulls, who started dropping from the sky, often wandering drunkenly down the 417 amongst the traffic.

The Ottawa Sun's headline next day took the cake: "Mounties leave no tern unstoned."

Great story. I always get tickled when our local newspaper shows a picture of the deputies burning a pile of pot after a recent raid. Never knew it took that many smiling deputies to get the job done. I'm sure they all have the munchies after they are done.

By Cedar Rapids Ia plans for a new land fill were stopped when local residents said land fill would attrack birds and it was to close to airport as birds were a hazard to the planes.
