This about makes my blood boil, some idiot shot a whooping crane!
Unfortunately there are a lot less whooping cranes left than idiots.

I find it incredible that there are such stupid morons in this world who would do something so cruel and irresponsible...what is wrong with these people?
So sad and such a great loss, especially since she was part of a breeding pair and how long will it take for the male to find another compatible breeding female...
This just makes me so angry, along with the morons who keep snakes as pets and feed them live rabbits and mice, which apart from being so inhumabe and terribly cruel is also illegal here, yet it goes on...my son inadvertantly came across a video on Youtube of some idiots in the US feeding a live rabbit to their snake and they were laughing about it...he was horrified and made a complaint.
I think it was irresponsible of Youtube to let it be shown and I will never understand the mentality of these people who are capable of such cruel practises. :(

Dianne,

I agree people just generally think they can do anything they want with animals. The key is she is a successful breeding female, rare... ugh.
