In the 19th- and early 20th-centuries, shorebirds were killed outright for their meat, a trade that only ended with the passage of federal legislation (which still excepts game birds such as woodcock and snipe). These days we need to conserve habitat and maintain a balance of food sources.

Inserts in rodent poisons that assure the public they will not kill anything but the offending rats or mice pedal the same questionable claims as those of the snake oil salesmen of bygone days.

Both pelicans have a very specialized foraging strategy that depends on abundant fish near the surface. Some pesticides killed pelicans directly, while DDT contamination led to thin-shelled eggs that broke under the weight of the parents.
