I've posted this story before, but now I see others have picked up on it (and have even a better job of reporting it -- smile).
Link here.
I won't re-link all the stories, but suffice it, here's the talk down at the local coffee shop: oil companies in North Dakota being charged with killing 26 ducks (most of which would have been on target for hunters this fall).
Meanwhile, whooping crane killers get a pass.
The ducks are not endangered as a diminishing species (that's why they are hunted from Canada to South America). Whooping cranes are at huge risk as a diminishing/lost species. Among everything else (including wind turbines) their natural wild food is at risk in the Gulf of Mexico where they nest.
And that's the talk down at the local coffee shop.
