Owls
Guess how many spotted owls are left in B.C. No really, just guess.
Endangered spotted owls in British Columbia have fallen to such critically low levels that the provincial government has been advised to capture all the remaining birds in "a triage approach to conservation," so that a zoo-based breeding program can be started.Okay, the number is 25. Well, actually less than 25. Spotted owls will only hang out in virgin forests. The nerve. Just like those people who say with a dismissive wave: "Oh, I never go east of Main Street," or "I never park my car in Gastown." Damn specialty birds, it's their own fault. Better to be a crow.
A report provided to cabinet by a science advisory team recommends the government spend $3.4-million over the next five years capturing and breeding the birds before the species vanishes from B.C., the only province in Canada with a population.
