I suspect there are other industries that might fall victim to the law in ways that don't seem so negligent. Leaving oil pits accessible to birds or any wildlife seems to be irresponsible but migratory birds can find plenty of ways to kill themselves. TV and radio towers are responsible for a LOT of bird deaths. Same with wind turbines. A friend who works with birds told me they did a survey of dead birds under a very tall TV tower after a storm and found hundreds of dead and injured birds that had run into guy wires. All it would take is for one tree hugger to find some dead protected birds and file a lawsuit for a broadcast company to go belly up.
