The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is suggesting the deployment of marksmen to eliminate over 500,000 barred owls in the Pacific Northwest over the next three decades.

This proposal aims to protect the habitat of the northern spotted owl, a species under protection.

While barred owls are originally from the East Coast, their presence in the Northwest has been expanding since the 1950s.

Recognized as voracious predators, they consume a wide range of prey, from worms and salamanders to birds in flight, aquatic life such as fish and snails, as well as terrestrial creatures like slugs, ArcaMax reported.
