For being a feminist with an opinion on comic books, or games. The story with Cecil was something of an exception, but the universe didn’t disappoint and sure enough the latest hunter outrage story today is, predictably, about a woman hunter. I can understand the visceral anger that often causes these internet flareups.

He published a number of books on birds of India and Burma, making me wonder how hard all these overseas civil servants really worked in their day jobs. Survival rates of chicks increase when there are helpers present – and if in captivity this is not an option, humans can also take the place of helpers ( source ).

The system was intended as a hunter-centric model, both guided by and benefitting consumptive interests. Given that few hunters actually consume coyotes, wolves, cougars, and except for a few individuals, even bears, it is obviously a “waste” of wildlife to shoot or trap these animals just for “fun” 2.

Long story short, the only way I could figure out securing a cabin for myself and my husband, Erik, was to book a trip with Rockjumper, a birding tour company based in South Africa and a supporter of Birdlife South Africa. It has had very few humans walk its soil and who have had little impact to this otherwise pristine nature.

The few bird books I was given as a kid that described it made it sound horrible: birds are kept in closets in complete darkness, they are starved to bond them to their masters, they never know true freedom again. I haven’t always had such a high opinion of falconers. Falconers can trap any bird of prey any time they want.

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? Do all hunters realize that? It gives one to wonder why this designation was made.
