Explain this. About dusk a guy drove along the road about 150 feet from us, stopped, pointed a shotgun out the window and fired off three rounds from inside his pickup at birds that flew away from him.
After a few seconds he drove on.
The next day we found this in the area. We believe it is a female Sharp-tailed Grouse.
Killed for no reason. On a National Wildlife Refuge. This beautiful bird belonged to somebody--us. It belonged to all 330 million Americans. And its life mattered also, and most importantly, to it.
For no reason. Not for food. Not to control the population for preservation reasons. Just for the sake of killing it, and watching it fall dead to the ground.
