I am in favor of sedating and attempting to save the animal also. I am confused by the part where
the "judge denied an environmental activist's request to stop the planned rescue ..." I read this to
mean that an enviro group was opposed to the planned rescue, but the judge allowed the rescue to to
go forward. What could they be opposed to here?

I guess I don't see this as an enviro issue as much as an animal rights issue, which makes it
on-topic for the audubon society group, however I always thought they were concerned with birds
specifically, and land animals in general. This could very well be on topic for all of these groups,
and I just don't get it.

My real question is what the enviro groups could have against the rescue plan. The other question
was more rhetorical, and really it was a snide remark that I probably should not have made.
