A new plan is in the works to eliminate Barred Owls to help Spotted Owls:

The proposal from the US Fish and Wildlife Service suggests eliminating "larger and more aggressive" barred owls to save the threatened spotted owl.

Sad is all I can say!

Flat earthers?

Conservationists say B.C.’s killing of spotted owl’s natural competitors is a misdirection
