A bipartisan parliament of House and Senate members today is calling on Congress to kill an expensive plan ordered by former President Joe Biden to shoot 450,000 barred owls bullying the endangered northern spotted owl in Northwest forests.
The protected owl, which is found from British Columbia to northern California, has been at the center of several controversial environmental fights. The government estimates that there are between 3,000 and 5,200 of them versus millions of barred owls.
Critics of the Biden plan have called it expensive, wasteful, and cruel. Several wildlife groups also oppose the killings.
The Biden administration’s Fish and Wildlife Service agency plan to directly kill more than 450,000 barred owls, costing tax dollars over $1.3 billion over the next 30 years, is a waste of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars.
