Killing Snowy Owls at New York Airports


My friend Shawn Carey sent an email about the killing of snowy owls at New York airports.   Here is an article about it

A petition has been set up to urge the Port Authority of New York and NJ to stop killing the owls.   Logan Airport has been successfully capturing and removing snowy owls for years with the help of Norman Smith of Mass Audubon http://www.massaudubon.org/get-outdoors/wildlife-sanctuaries/blue-hills/snowy-owl-project   There is no reason that NY can't do the same thing. 

Please sign the petition here:
