    • A Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) egg at the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. Conservation status: extinct. On 1 September 1914, the last Passenger Pigeon died in a cage in Cincinnati Zoo. It is the only species for which we know the exact date of extinction. When Europeans settled in North America in the late 1500s,the E. migratorius population was as high as six billion in its foresthabitat in eastern North America, up to 40% of the total bird population on the continent. A few decades of reckless overhunting and deforestation in the late 1800s brought the worlds largest ever bird population to zero. Flocks were so dense that the birds could simply be batted out of the air with clubs as they flew over ridges; one shotgun blast could bring down as many as 50 birds. The naturalist John James Audubon observed one flock for three days and estimated the birds were flying past at a rate of 300 million per hour. Professional hunters tracked the nomadic flocks and met the demand for meat and feathers by suffocating birds nesting in trees with sulfurous fires, knocking nests and squabs (young pigeons) from trees, baiting and intoxicating them with alcohol-soaked grain to make them easier to catch and by using live decoys with their eyes sewn shut. By 1880, overkill had made commercial hunting unprofitable. In April 1896, hunters found the last remnant flock of 250,000 and in one day killed all but 5000 birdsâ other accounts say all were killed. Captive breeding efforts failed. Martha, the last Passenger Pigeon, remains on display at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, DC.

    An Iraqi woman walks through a plume of smoke rising from a massive fire at a liquid gas factory as she searches for her husband in the vicinity of the fire in Basra, Iraq, May 26, 2003.  The fire was allegedly started by looters picking through the factory, and residents in the vicinity feared the explosion of the four liquid gas tanks on the premisis.   Weeks after the end of the war, looting continues to be one of the main problems for both Basra and Bagdad cities as coalition forces struggle to get life back to normal.

    Stephanie Anderson, 39, right, and her daughter Vanessa Anderson, 17, both of Lake Mary, FL, at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, FL on Tuesday, June 14, 2016.

Stephanie: straight
Vanessa: pansexual 

Did you know anyone who was at the club? 
Stephanie-"Not directly, but as someone that identifies with that community, her mother a supporter of that, she feels very strongly about it, so I felt the need to bring her down here to show her the support she has as an individual and that she doesnÕt have to be afraid to go outside."
Ê
Describe one way you will remember/honor the fallen?/What action will you take as a result of what happened here?
Stephanie: "It makes me want to make sure that IÕm armed when I go out or when my children go out and that theyÕre in a safe environment. I felt The Pulse and downtown (Orlando) was a safe environment, so I donÕt think that anyone could have done any different except they themselves being armed. I think thatÕs the only way we can move forward is to protect ourselves."

Vanessa- I honestly think that nobody is safe right now, but feel like everybody is getting together on this and itÕll make us stronger as a world.
Ê

How are you changed by this tragedy? 
Vanessa: "I didnÕt feel like it was real at first, this affects everybody now
Stephanie: Love is love is love. No matter what our differences, itÕs important to make sure that we see the good in people and not who they love. To me, it makes no difference who she loves (Vanessa). Love is better than hate.
