By who and for how long was the Great Auk hunted for?

Sagot :

first part: Audubon would paint the Great Auk but by 1844 the last bird would be extinct.

second part: condemning it as «a maelstrom-conjuring witch,» they stoned it to death. Four years later, the Great Auk vanished from the world entirely when fishermen hunted down the last pair on the shores of Eldey Island, off the coast of Iceland.
