Dear Listers: It ain't over till it's over, however the proverbial "fat lady is about to sing"!! Attached is a link to a 10,000 Bird's blog post by Julie Zickefoose. http://10000birds.com/open-season-on-bald-eagles.htm Contained within said post is an appeal to her readers to comment on the USFWS portal and oppose the hunting of SACR in KY. But she's taken a slightly different twist this time. Julie has used Kentucky Fish and Wildlife's own reasons and rationale for proposing this hunt. Only she applies it to another high profile species to show just how ludicrous and irrational this whole proposal is. I hope you take a minute to read her blog...but MORE importantly I hope you take a minute to follow the specific step-by-step instructions she's provided and MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD...you have till this FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2011 to make a comment. Do it for the Cranes...do it for future generations of wildlife watchers...do it to show those at USFWS that YOUR opinion matters. Whatever your reason...PLEASE just do it today. Thanks.
