Little Hens on the Prairie

This week’s Golden Fleece Award, encased in a garland of chicken feathers, goes to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, which is spending $181,730 to “seat” 91 endangered prairie chickens on State planes and fly them to the Prairie State.

Unfortunately, prairie chickens seem not to like Illinois, which is why most of them die rather than suffer through its cold winters.

And did we mention that the Feds are contributing $337,500 of your money to this three year boondoggle?

We wonder who gets these doomed critters’ frequent flyer miles?
