Death of an owl in Rockport
By adamg on Mon, 01/28/2013 - 7:34am
Good Morning Gloucester posts a nice photo of a snowy owl, with a sad coda:
I took this photo yesterday in Rockport – Magnificent creature! By this morning, he had died in the same place – just tragic! The Animal Control Officer who came to collect him said often owls ingest rodents that have been poisoned – please ask your readers to re-think using poison.

Banning cats
Ban cats, rodents are poisoned instead.
Poisoned rodents kill raptors.

swirlygrrl, why do you hijack
swirlygrrl, why do you hijack every thread?? Banning cats? What are you ranting about? If you have a point to clarify, please do. We don't all live inside your head.
Owls are amazing creatures. Saw a snowy owl 2 years ago. Hopefully this incident will make a difference.
Hijacking?
The point of having comments on posts is to let people comment. It's not like she started talking about, oh, home births here. That would be hiacking.

Also, if you've been around long enough to claim that I hijack threads, maybe you should get yourself a log in, make yourself comfortable.

Maybe not a hijack, but I
Maybe not a hijack, but I will say that the breadth of topics you profess expertise on makes me doubt your expertise on any at all....
Also for the record, this is a different anon here, but I'm an avid & longtime UH reader who chooses to remain anonymous
"I'll stay anon because I
"I'll stay anon because I wanna" is the new "I don't mean to be racist but...".
You sure?
This is a post about an owl after all ... not a convenient place to put your off-topic inadequacies or start an off-topic, ad-hominem pile-on, no?
Back to mourning our poor avian friend - and remembering to not indiscriminately and carelessly use rodent poison.
indiscriminate rodent poison use
...you could put it out there for anons to nibble on...
overly sensitive registered
overly sensitive registered users might want to take a deep breath...
If a cat were in a fight with an owl
my money would be on ... oh yes, the OWL!
but what...
...if they went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat...?
