Title: Reward Offered For Information In Last Week's Owl Trapping Incident: CT
Post by: Donna on 01-Dec-09, 06:42:13 AM
The Humane Society of the United States is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for trapping a federally protected owl in Moodus last week.

Residents found the owl struggling on Clarke Gate Road in Moodus on Wednesday. A wildlife rehabilititor captured the bird and found a rusty leghold trap clamped tightly to the owl's foot.

The injury was so bad that the owl was euthanized Friday. Trapping a federally protected bird, such as a barred owl, is a federal offense under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Anyone with information about the case can call the Department of Environmental Protection at (860)424-3333.

Here we go again....why? Poor Owl.

That is funny because I was just thinking it wouldn't be their leg I'd stick in the trap, and you beat me to it.  :bow:
