Humane Society Offers $2,500 Reward for Info on NC Pelican Killers
The Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust have added a $2,500 reward to the money already being offered to find those responsible for what the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has repeatedly called deliberate killings.
"We applaud the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other investigating agencies for their efforts to find those who may be responsible," said Kimberley Alboum, North Carolina state director for The Humane Society of the United States in a press release.
The Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust already have an outstanding reward offer for information about similar pelican killings that took place on Bald Head Island, Oak Island, Holden Beach and Caswell Beach in December 2009 and January 2010.
