The very first time I ever played golf, I saw a friend randomly hit a bird on a drive. I’ve never seen anyone accurate enough to do it on purpose. Maybe a pro? Seems the Humane Society thinks Tripp Isenhour is good enough and is after the hawk killer. Isenhour says otherwise.
“That’s obviously people who don’t know very much about golf,” he said. “To say it’s a one-in-a-million shot for an accident like that to happen, you know, and when it did happen, I was very remorseful, very upset that it happened.”

It seems from the article that he was actively trying to hit the bird, not just that it was a random event. Doesn’t sound as much like an accident to me.
Certainly sounded fishy to me. Sounds like he was hitting balls AT the Hawk not intending to hit it and mistakenly really screwed up. One of those “Don’t run with scissors’ moments.
Let Isenhour know how you feel about his cowardly sadistic act. His agent’s e-mail is:

Realize that there’s a big difference between “the humane society” and “the humane society of the united states” one is a group of dedicated, hardworking, underfunded people running the shelter down the street, the other is an international organization which is right up there with PETA… I give them a couple more evil points for pretending to not be evil
