a major hurdle with some of these reintroduced populations has been deaths to illegal hunting. over a period of two years, five of the approximately 100 whooping cranes in the eastern migratory population were illegally shot and killed. one of the dead cranes was the female known as "first mom". in 2006, she and her mate were the first eastern captive raised and released pair to successfully raise a chick to adulthood in the wild. this was a particular blow to that population because whooping cranes do not yet have an established successful breeding situation in the east. on march 30, 2011, wade bennett, 18, of cayuga, indiana and an unnamed juvenile pleaded guilty to killing first mom. after killing the crane, the juvenile had posed holding up its body. bennett and the juvenile were sentenced to a $1 fine, probation, and court fees of about $500, a penalty which was denounced by various conservation organizations as being too light. the prosecuting attorney has estimated that the cost of raising and introducing to the wild one whooping crane could be as much as $100,000. overall, the international crane foundation estimates that the nearly 20% of deaths among the reintroduced cranes in the eastern migratory population are due to shootings.
