The U.S. government is preparing a shocking wildlife cull that would kill nearly half a million barred owls in an attempt to protect the northern spotted owl. This plan ignores the real cause of population decline, which is decades of industrial logging that destroyed critical habitat. Sign the petition now to demand humane, science based solutions instead of mass slaughter.
Barred owls are intelligent and essential members of their ecosystem, yet this billion dollar program would shoot them across public lands, including national parks. At roughly three thousand dollars per owl, the scheme is costly, ineffective, and cruel. It also sets a dangerous precedent by normalizing the killing of one native species to allegedly save another, instead of addressing human driven habitat loss. Protecting the northern spotted owl requires real Conservation, not a wildlife massacre. Sign the petition now to urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to cancel the plan.
