Officials plan to shoot Barred Owls to protect endangered spotted owls.
Barred owls are bullies.
They use their larger size and superior hunting skills to make things difficult for the much smaller and highly endangered spotted owl.
In forest areas where the two species are found, barred owls thrive while the spotted owl suffers. Because of this, the Obama Administration announced a new plan that would allow government workers to shoot selected barred owls so that their spotted cousins might thrive. It’s survival of the fittest at its best.
Sounds to me as if they are going after the more succesful ones in ordered to protect and give a better chance to the less succesful ones?
Hmmm.

As much as I hate him, FBHO, this was in the planning stages long before he took office. I'll try to find some verification but I lost of a lot of files a couple years ago when the old PC went to PC heaven.
The plan is sheer stupidity in my opinion.

Yes, so are the spotted owls.
They also interbreed, so one might question as to whether they really are two separate species.
