Don't Shoot the Whooper
Narrated by FULTON MACKAY
'Don't shoot the Whooper' is the rallying cry of conservationists all over America. Since being decimated by shooting over the last 200 years, the Whooping Crane has become the most famous endangered species in America. It is also one of the world's rarest birds - less than 100 exist.
Only 17 pairs nested this year in Northern Canada, yet the struggle to save the Whooper has been going on for 40 years - it took 20 years of searching to find their nesting grounds!
This film traces the remarkable story of the battle to save the Whooper from extinction; the battle is still not won - the death of a Whooper makes the headlines in American newspapers even today, and as every Whooping Crane chick hatches the scientists keep their fingers crossed ...

The story of the gunfight at the OK Corral is perhaps the most famous of all the Western legends. Doc Holliday , a dentist turned gambler and gunman, joined his old friend Wyatt Earp in a shoot-out with the Clanton family; Frank Perry 's film etches a portrait of the man from the time he rides into Tombstone with Kate Elder , a prostitute he has won in a card game.
