Reporter: Liz Condie
In a Press Release received shortly before 7:00pm CST this evening, 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced the cause of death of 
217*. The seven year old Whooping crane, matriarch of the First 
Family, was shot.  She was the dam of Wild601, the first Whooping 
crane to be hatched in the wild in Eastern North American in more than 
a century.  The shooting occurred near the town of Cayuga in 
Vermillion County, Indiana - sometime between November 28th, when she 
was last recorded by trackers, and December 1st when her carcass was 
found.


"This is likely the most important bird in the entire Eastern 
Migratory Population," said Operation Migration CEO, Joe Duff. "We are 
all saddened by the loss and troubled by the motive behind the act."

Sad

I hope they catch the (really bad word), and really punish them not just a slap on the wrist.
