Has it never occurred to them that, while they are preserving "Natural History" *inside* their building, they are destroying it *outside*?

And besides that, and it may have already been said, probably was, if they kill off the raptors trying to kill off the rats they're losing a lot of free rodent controllers.

I received this update this afternoon:

The Met has responded stating that they have stopped using poison and the boxes that we see are either empty or test boxes.
We have agreed to stop the call in for the Met at this time.
We requested a meeting with them and they sounded agreeable. Keep your fingers crossed!

As for the Museum of NH...no response...thank you for calls today.
We will keep you aware of the events.

Many thanks! Save the Hawks!

WINORR- Wildlife In Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation
We will be bringing the 2 Palemale juveniles into the city tomorrow afternoon to release back in a city park to be determined . One needed more time to condition and live prey train than the other but it benefited by having its sibling there to watch and copy . They are both ready to go and start their new life back in the wild. Once it is figured out I will post it here time and place. 

Hope the same senario doesn't happen again! Good luck little ones.
