I am definitely a gun advocate but I also know that some idiots do not deserve the right...

Quoted:
Your title and your post are very vague. People actually lead birds on migrations....yearly??? I think his point was about the crane being shot. Not the plane. Then, more recently, reports emerged that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (I-DNR) were investigating the shooting of an endangered whooping crane near the town of Cayuga in central Vermillion County, Indiana. The crane was last seen alive by an International Crane Foundation (ICF) staff member on November 28. The carcass was found by an ICF tracking intern on December 1. This death is particularly troublesome since it was the 7-year-old mother of the first crane to be successfully hatched in the wild in Eastern North America (2006) in one hundred years. |
| My post was on the shooting more than anything. However, for the Whooping Crane they have been hatching the eggs in captivity and leading them via ultralite plane on the annual migration. This is to establish a group that can revive the population to more than the existing 500 until some moron shoots one of the more reliable females. |
