Subject: U.S. plans to net Canadian falcons - news story


>Friday's Saint John Times-Globe and Moncton Times & Transcript each ran a
>stry by David Young entitled "U.S. plans to net Canadian falcons".
>
>The story refers to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's notice of intent
>that it is developing a plan to allow falconers to "harvest" peregrine
>falcons. Falcons would be netted along the Eastern Seaboard, possibly in
>Maryland, and then sold to people who use the birds for hunting.
>
>The Canadian Government has indicated its opposition to the plan because it
>would potentially take birds from the southern Canadian population which is
>still considered at risk. It wouldn't hurt to have some citizen input too.
>I'll try to get the address.
>
>Meanwhile, you can read this story on the Web at
>http://www.timesglobe.com/page003.htm but that item will probably change at
>mid day Saturday when the next day's paper is released.
