Two endangered California condors have been illegally shot and killed in southern Utah in the last two years.
The DWR noted both condors were shot with firearms, although it is unclear if the two incidents are connected or what type of firearm was used. California condors are listed under the Endangered Species Act as endangered. Because they are protected, it is illegal for anyone to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trip, capture, or collect them, the DWR said. Those involved in killing these birds could face a third-degree felony charge of wanton destruction of protected wildlife, with a maximum fine of $5,000, restitution of $1,500, and a five-year prison sentence.
