Hunting Sandhill Cranes in Kentucky makes a mockery of Kentucky itself, not
to mention the ethics of hunting, KDFWR's objectivity, and government in
general in this state. Luckily the entire process is a trial and if enough
outcry is generated to raise political pressure on the bureaucrats, it will
end. If political pressure is not raised, this will be permanent. We must
organize now to fight making this permanent. KDFWR is not going to listen
to facts; they displayed an amazing ability to ignore them last time. The
pressure must be political; it must be organized; it must represent lots of
people and organizations. Any pressure that does not include these 3
features (minimally) is doomed.

It seems a bit of a contradiction to have to keep Whooping Crane sightings
secret so that nonviolent observers are unable to enjoy seeing them, while
it seems to be perfectly legal in KY to shoot at a Sandhill Crane that might
be flying or standing right next to a Whooping Crane. Is this not also undue
disturbance?

At the risk of sounding like a defender of KDFWR ...
as stated several times on BIRDKY previously, the reason why no one
(including KDFWR I'm sure) *typically* reports sightings of Whooping Cranes,
is that the International Crane Foundation (the entity most invested in the
project to put them into the eastern Sandhill population) has specifically
asked that locations *not* be given out publicly ... this to protect the
Whoopers from undue disturbance.
