Thanks to the thousands of concerned people who contacted the Port Authority and signed petitions to protest snowy owl cullings at JFK Airport in early December 2013, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey agreed to immediately implement a trap and relocate program, similar to an effective program employed at Boston’s Logan Airport.

    Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking and
    checking back frequently!
