Let's just ban breathing by humans. Then we could do not harm to other
species.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Should pishing be banned under the Bird Migratory Treaty
Act?
> Thanks, Wallace, for bringing up the issue of pishing again (however it is
spelled). Under the Bird Migratory Treaty Act (BMTA), pishing, as an
attempt to "pursue" and "take" should be banned. Although pishing is
currently exempted as a banned activity, a plain reading of the language of
the act would seem to indicate that any attempt to "pursue" a protected bird
is prohibited. Maybe we need to ban pishing completely except for those who
have been issued "pishing" permits. I can think of several who need one.
