To All Birders:
I am addressing this subject via carolinabirds to reach large numbers of
devoted birders. I reference The Charlotte Observer article Sunday, February
9, in Local and State section B, Page 1, entitled "Students Jailed in Goose
Killing". The staff writer is Melissa Manware, email
mmanware@charlotteobserver.com
Five Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers lured a goose with bread crumbs and
beat it to death with a golf club at a nearby park on Friday afternoon at
3:30 p.m. Five arrests were made and perhaps more are forthcoming. The
young men were charged with felony cruelty to animals and conspiracy to
commit cruelty to animals. The responses of the College and Fraternity were
swift. However, so far, Davidson College has closed the fraternity and an
investigation is being held.
I would like to offer the name of the Dean of Students and phone number
and email address. I am personally writing and calling the Dean of Students,
Mr. Thomas C. Shandley, (704) 894-2225, toshandley@davidson.edu and
encourage as many of you as possible to do the same to voice your outrage and
concern that these students NOT be allowed to continue their educational
privileges at Davidson College.
Please let Davidson College know how you feel about this barbaric act.
