Feather poachers kill albatrosses for hat feathers, Audubon warns
Dr. Homer R. Dill told a National Audubon meeting that Japanese feather traders starve thousands of albatrosses on the Hawaiian Islands to render skins for sale. Birds gathered on Layson Island to feed and rear young, then were trapped, and fat loss makes skins easier to harvest. Police captured 23 agents in Honolulu, and the Audubon Society plans to station wardens to protect North American waterbird colonies. Bert Pearson cites a millinery industry demand driving theft of feathers.
