Reward for information on Whooping Crane Killings

In December, three DAR (Direct Autumn Relase) Whooping Cranes were shot in Georgia.  These birds were part of a reintroduction effort started by the International Crane Foundation, and were on migration between Wisconsin and Georgia, when they were found dead by hunters.  The cranes were thought to be shot sometime before December 30th.  If you have any information about this horrendous crime, please contact U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent Terry Hasting at 404-763-7959 and/or Georgia Department of Natural Resources 24hr. TIP  Hotline at 1-800-241-4113.  The reward for information is now up to $20,800.  Whooping Cranes are a critically endangered species, and less than 400 remain in existence. 

Donations in response to this crime are best channeled into the reward money, as it is very likely that someone knows who did this.
