Disturbing News From Burnham, Illinois: You Can Help
I received a call today from a woman in Chicago, Illinois. Her report was very disturbing. Apparently, gangs of young men are shooting the wild Quakers that live in Burnham, which is a suburb of Chicago.I am attempting to develop information before contacting the media. You can assist me if you know:
- Whether this situation is in fact occurring.
- Who in Chicago media I should direct my contact to get in touch with.
- The names, e-mails and phone numbers of regional anti-cruelty organizations active in the Chicago area.
- Academic institutions in Chicago area that might be able to exert influence.
- Church groups in Chicago who might have community influence in Burnham.
- Chicago-based bird groups that might have influence in Burnham.
- Political leaders who are pro-wildlife and/or anti-gun violence.
If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Time is of the essence.
Thanks much,
Steve Baldwin
