Delaware County Sheriff is telling people to stop shooting birds on wires so as to *not cause power and telecommunication outages!* But there is NO mention in the article that this is highly illegal and bad for the birds! So basically it's OK to shoot a bird not on a wire? Unbelievable. The NYSDEC police should be notified by the sheriff or the sheriff should arrest these folks. What the heck is going on? What can be done?
