		The Guadalupe Caracara was very different from the Passenger Pigeon in that it was found only on Guadalupe Island, off the west coast of Mexico.
		It was possible that the Guadalupe Caracara could eat into profits by eating into newly born kids -- baby goats, that is. And so they were controlled by shooting.
		The island turned out to be a lousy place to raise goats (big surprise!) and soon after the Guadalupe Caracara was extinct, the island and the goat-herding venture were abandoned.
