What Can Be Saved: Owl vs. Owl by Marshall Ritzel & Jon Fahey
A squeeze of a shotgun trigger at close range, and a big, beautiful, brown and gray owl falls from its high perch to the forest floor.

This is what it has come to. In a world where countless species are threatened by climate change and other human activity, we sometimes have to take desperate measures to save what can be saved. Is this a role we should play? Is it OK to kill some creatures to save others? Run time: 15 minutes
