A snowy owl that somehow got into the O'Neill Tunnel fared little better than Larry the Turkey: Mass. Environmental Police report the bird was scooped up near the Government Center exit yesterday and rushed to the Tufts wildlife clinic in Grafton for treatment. The Globe reports the bird died.

I don't think you're funny.

If you took the time to actually learn something about owls you might be surprised at how amazing they are, and that we are so fortunate as to have them migrate through the city of Boston is something to be appreciate.

JFC. I have a perpetual monthly donation to the Sierra Club, which is an odd thing for someone who doesn't "actually give a damn about other species".
When was your sense of humor removed and replaced with another bile duct and/or CPU from an unfunny 1960s robot?
RIP
My cute little fuzzy friend.
Well camouflaged for the concrete jungle!
Year-round too. Sad ending for a beautiful, amazing creature. With all the rats, we desperately need these hunters and to ban poison use.
