I learned about this story today, though it appears that everything started going downhill Tuesday. Luckily there's been more on it, and I for one am hoping for a happy ending.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm not a tree-hugging hippie by any means, but I would never displace wildlife in a case like this. It's one thing to have deer roaming a completely urban area, endangering themselves as well as the public. Hawks, though, are a different matter, and to destroy their nest for what are surely aesthetic reasons is shameful.
The public outcry and the backlash caused by this will certainly make waves. Even though official news sources and other websites have been prohibited from publishing contact information for the building management, there are plenty of resourceful people out there who can still find that information, as well as other contact information such as the New York mayor's office. It's bad P.R., at the very least.
