Mass cormorant slaughter shocks New York coast
Wildlife officials probe the shooting of about 850 protected cormorants on Little Gallop Island in Lake Ontario, part of a reported 1,000 birds killed in two months. The incident sparks calls to reduce flocks to protect sport fishing while penalties reach up to 5000 dollars and six months imprisonment. The event follows other bird killings nationwide and a pending fisheries management study.
