Carrion Baggage California condor still endangered by lead bullets		12 Oct 2007	News
Posted at 3:52 PM on 12 Oct 2007 California condors came to the brink of extinction in the 1980s, largely from eating game felled by toxic lead bullets. A recovery effort has proved successful, but attempts to bring condors back into the wild have been frustrated by the birds' continuing poisoned-carrion habit.

Tweet and Sour Songbird endangered in France hunted as a culinary delicacy		19 Sep 2007	News
Posted at 4:32 PM on 19 Sep 2007 Ortolan is a French delicacy: a tiny songbird, roasted whole and swallowed in one bite, bones and all.

Apparently freedom fries just aren't good enough for them. source:� Assoc ...

Posted at 1:50 PM on 11 Sep 2007 The Pacific gray whale, long held up as an environmental success story, may not have made as impressive a comeback as once thought.
