The Worth of a Seabird

According to the AP, the Kauai Interscholastic Federation in Hawaii recently decided to move high school football games from Friday nights to Saturday afternoons. The decision was made in order to protect threatened seabirds.

The bright lights used during night football games confuse newborn Newell’s shearwaters, which rely on moonlight to travel from their nests out to sea. Every year, an estimated 30 shearwaters become disoriented and fall from the sky because of the lights at Vidinha Stadium.

Under federal and state laws, the federation can be fined up to $30,000 for each bird that dies.

Under federal and state laws, I wonder what a pre-born human baby is worth?

    I am with you on this one. Some people go to extremes sometimes for animal and even insects, but don’t think nothing about taking a life due to abortion. I like your links. keep up the good work. BTW I go to Beech Street Christian Church and know your wife Karen real well.
