This article is SO well written. Thanks, Vickie, for providing the link.
Multiple addresses of TN officials involved in this issue are provided in
this article. I can't help but copy and paste the following compelling
section:
*UPDATE: As of Tuesday, October 19, Mike Chase had received exactly ONE
letter in protest. And that was from Janet McKnight. He called her to thank
her for writing. My screed should arrive today. So then he'll have two
letters of protest. This is a well-publicized thing-better now, thanks to
10,000 Birds. And yet even Tennessee's birders remain silent-perhaps happy
to passively enjoy birds without bothering to question their state's
management choices. Birders, if you don't act, you've no room to complain
about the outcome of this proposal. Think about training your binoculars on
a family group of sandhill cranes kiting into a cornfield, hearing shots,
and seeing two crumple to the ground. If that thought bothers you, WRITE.
