Update (July 2, 2024): Previous permits have been denied, but the development company is reportedly persisting. Allegedly, town officials will be voting on the issue again next Tuesday, July 9th. Please continue to speak out for these animals!
Original post:
Last year, PETA was alerted to the proposed rezoning of land along W. Arkansas Highway 12 in Highfill, Arkansas, which is reportedly a well-established nesting area for bald eagles. After hearing from PETA supporters, town officials voted against issuing permits that would allow billion-dollar development company D.R. Horton to bulldoze and build on the land. Sadly, just months later, we’ve been told that new permits to develop the land are already being considered. The next council meeting is scheduled for February 13, and the next planning commission meeting is scheduled for February 27.
We need your voices once more! Please contact the city via its Facebook page and call the following officials urging them to safeguard these beautiful, federally protected birds:
