i say do it

after all, human history is chock full of examples in which the world
is made a better by the judicious application of the the judgment of
which members of which species need to die.

and lets be sure to make sure that kids everywhere know that a barred
owl is very bad bird.
if you see any let 'em have it.

there's a freaking insurgency of barred owls

we owe it to future generations

if we dont kill barred owls in the forests and clear cuts we will be
killing them on main street.


for crying out loud


this idea deserves nothing but ridicule and derision in case you havent
guessed at my true feelings.
