Saoirse:
I completely agree that the responsible person should be charged and fined -- the loss of Scout was terrible and unnecessary. At the same time, I think it's fair to recognize the truth in what Sami posted -- ignorance about peregrine falcons is widespread, and education is critical. The worker could be any one of us -- panicked by a large bird attacking him, not knowing why or what to do about it. Granted, he did the wrong thing.
MayShowers:
I agree with you Elaine L and Moonstar. Hopefully they will find this person and the truth will find justice.
Moonstar:

You can try educating people, but there will always be this type of person, who does not care, and has no sensitivity towards animals, birds, or the environment. I hope they find him, and fine him.

I agree with you 100% Elaine.
I feel this person should be charged/fined.
I am so upset hearing that Scout's death was caused by a human.

Saoirse:
You're so right, Sami. I know that my first reaction was fury at the worker, but he probably felt very threatened by this bird dive bombing him for no apparent reason while he attempted to do his job.
