10,000 Birds

We have a simple solution to raise more money for the National Wildlife Refuge System. This just doesn’t seem like rocket science to me. A 2011 survey by the U.S. million hunters. This means that only 11% of hunters buy the Duck Stamp raising approximately $25 million a year. A lot more money!

The USFWS designated the whooping cranes in this population “nonessential and experimental.” So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird?
