Like nothing we have ever seen': NorCal man accused of killing more than 100 hawks
A man in Lassen County was arrested Sunday after his 80-acre property was allegedly found littered with the carcasses of more than 100 dead hawks and other birds in what the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is calling the largest raptor-poaching bust in state history.
"It's like nothing we have ever seen," said Capt. Patrick Foy of CDFW's law enforcement division. "I've been doing this for 21 years and some of us have been around in excess of three decades. We all kind of looked at each other and said we've known of nothing close to this many raptors involved in a poaching case."

I've visited the Western North Carolina Nature Center where they have numerous animals and birds who can no longer live in the wild. My heart went out to the hawks, they looked so sad.
