Feds offer $5K reward for info on Louisiana whooping crane's killer
Fox News
Authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information on an individual who killed a whooping crane in Mamou, Louisiana, in late January.
Whooping cranes are endangered under the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It is illegal to harm the species in any way. The reward is for information leading to the arrest or criminal conviction of those involved.
"It’s frustrating," Richard Dunn, a curator at Freeport McMoran Audubon Species Survival Center, told The Advocate. "It’s bad enough to hear a bird got predated or hit a power line. Something as simple as it got shot is what kills us the most."
