  1. This came up on Birdguides' site...
    like you I was sickened!
    But, then again, what can one expect from a country that shoots first and asks questions afterwards!!
    It was killed in the name of "study" according to the report I read...
    personally, I think it was killed in the name of GREED...
    just so that the museum can have the skin in it's archive!!
