US Attorney prosecutes slaughter of endangered crane

White, red state legislator, Betty Olson (earth hater-Prairie City) wants to be able to kill endangered species just for the hell of it. She represents producers of the invasive cattle species that have decimated the West and fattened Republican heads.

Bryan Nelson told readers of Mother Nature Network:

"Wildlife is an important resource to the people of South Dakota. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, and the sentence handed down today for the senseless killing of a whooping crane, one of the rarest birds in the world, is a prime example of the enforcement of that law," said Brendan V. Johnson, the prosecuting attorney in the case. "The Department of Justice works hand in hand with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and takes the killing of endangered species very seriously. Let this case serve as notice to anyone who thinks otherwise."

A local teevee outlet reminds readers that Mr. Johnson will speak in Rapid City next month:

The South Dakota Coalition Ending Domestic and Sexual Violence and Native Women of the Great Plains Society are sponsoring the free workshop. It's scheduled for March 5-6 at the Adoda [sic] Eco Hotel.
