For those of you who’ve been following the drama unfolding in Kentucky regarding a sandhill crane hunt, there’s bad news. Which wasn’t a surprise, since everyone on the commission is a hunter. Kentucky’s wildlife offices have been flooded with protests, whether written, telephoned or emailed.

I’m a wildlife rehabilitator, so I’m always ranting about things like eagles being lead poisoned or songbirds being slaughtered by outdoor and feral cats. I’ve received stacks of hate mail from hunters who use lead bullets (as opposed to copper), outdoor cat owners, etc etc etc. For a minute, she had me.
