re: Today is Endangered Species Act Day/HucksOnline

Honest George: Today I found the carcass of a beautiful golden-buff common barn-owl. Not a feather out of place, not a mark on its body -- but it had died within just a few hours before I found it. Possibly it had eaten a poisoned mouse. The barn-owl isn't on the endangered list but I've never had the experience of holding such a beautiful bird-creature in my hand before. Its heart-shaped face and extremely soft feathers and down is unlike anything in any of my previous experiences. The thought of a species being wiped out forever is a sobering thought. I would rather that we, as the dominant species, over-reacted in protecting all-species from a careless extermination rather than under-reacting.

Question:  Do you agree/disagree w/Honest George re: caring for wild creatures?
