(AP) -- One of the original California condors brought from the wild into a captive breeding program during the 1980s has been shot to death. The bird, a female called Adult Condor 8, was captured in 1986 and released into the wild in 2000 after giving birth to about a dozen chicks. The carcass was found Feb. 13 in a remote area of Kern County.
I will never fathom the "sport" of shooting another living creature. Or just as bad: Ignorant people with guns, shooting things because they have nothing else better to do. That's frightening.
