When I think about the language that has been used by people who kill animals or have someone else do it for them, a couple of years ago the "compassionate" trend began.

We can really ask the question and get a definitive answer from one. All an owl knows is that when they stare at something, they’re trying to figure out if they can kill and eat it.

The trouble is, the definition of “native habitat” is, for starlings and many other species, now quite elastic. Now, there are still 10 million of them there but, due in part to a population dip after 1970, it is, in the reign of the second Elizabeth, illegal to kill them intentionally. What’s magic about 1970?
