Well, as long as they're not shooting them from helicopters...

Honestly, so much has been made of the Spotted Owl, that it’s a no-brainer that an upstart crow like the Barred Owl should be eliminated to make room for our little feathery favorite. I’m sure Darwin and Mother Nature approve. Cuteness should count for something, afterall.

It is funny how the leftists who claim to believe in “natural selection” in theory oppose it in actual practice.

This stupid “administration” sees its task as interfering in everything - nature, the free market, peoples’ lives...a sort of earthly cretinous “deity”.

Meh. What’s the big deal? They both taste like chicken...

The spotted owl and the barred owl are cousins and can interbreed. A year or so ago, I read an article on the two. The barred owl was on the east coast and moved west with the settlers. The spotted owl is a subspecies and is being displaced naturally even without logging. As someone in the article said, shooting barred owls is like shooting coyotes — you only temporarily lesson their numbers. Nature has its own leveling mechanism and killing one species to protect another will be an exercise in futility.

Barred Owls? I thought they were talking about Whitey Owls.

Leftists are truly insane

Make this call in the wild: Should Oregon shoot barred owls to save spotted owls?

[bjorn14]

Maybe Øbama heard the spotted owl call his name

[Jeff Chandler]

I wonder how the birds feel about being killed for other birds?

This is what happens when you have an administration full of eugenicists who believe in natural selection.

This is just another example of the Gubermint demonstrating that it alone is qualified to choose life’s winners.
