Cant eat goat without first tenderizing it. Any eagle knows that.

Several years ago while I was watching a squirrel jump from tree limb to tree limb in my back yard a hawk appeared and snatched it of mid-air. The last thing I saw was the squirrels tail flapping in the wind as the hawk took it home.Caught the same ting years ago looking at my chimney with a tree right behind it I saw the hawk sweep in and grab the squirrel from the limb.

Don’t give any politicians any ideas. They will give a university a billion dollars to study the ‘problem’ and still not solve it.

Geez, you mean nature isn’t like Bambi and Finding Nemo?
And these same people would shrug at the notion of a woman aborting her baby.

I lived, fished and boated for 25 years in SE Alaska and never saw anything like that - rather unusual.
One time while anchored in a remote bay, we watched about 30 bald eagles play tug of war with a large octopus who was trapped in a tide pool at low ebb. He lost a few legs, but I think he survived the attack.
I've seen a eagle strike and carry off a goldeneye duck, and another time witnessed a river otter surface with a flounder in its mouth only to be hit and robbed of it by a bald eagle.

Raptors are awful creatures...descendants of flying reptiles. Deserve to intercept a load of No. 7’s.

Hopper: It’s a bug-eat-bug world out there, princess. One of those Circle of Life kind of things. Now let me tell you how things are supposed to work: The sun grows the food, the ants pick the food, the grasshoppers eat the food...
Molt: And the birds eat the grasshoppers. Hey, like the one that nearly ate you, you remember? You remem- Oh, you shoulda seen it, okay?
Hopper: Molt!
Molt: This blue jay has him half way down his throat, okay? And Hopper - Hopper’s kicking and screaming, okay? And I’m scared, okay, I’m not going anywhere near, okay- Aw, come on! It’s a great story.

Libtards like to imagine that nature is all peaches and cream. Idiots!
Btw, what do these ppl think all the wolves they love to re-introduce do to all the weaker critters? Do they think it’s all Kumbaya when a predator gets at its prey???

Libtards also like to imagine that all the indigenous folks were living all happy, peaceful and attune to nature before the evil white man arrived.
I remember visiting a place in Nebraska where hundreds of years earlier a bunch of Ingenious Indians ran a whole heard of Buffalo over a cliff.

Several years ago while I was watching a squirrel jump from tree limb to tree limb in my back yard a hawk appeared and snatched it of mid-air. The last thing I saw was the squirrels tail flapping in the wind as the hawk took it home. I was driving along in my suburban town when a tree just ahead of my car started shaking and a writhing blob dropped from it. A second later the blob took flight, a juvenile hawk struggling to get airborn with a squirrel in its talons. The young hawk wasn't much bigger than the squirrel I was dangerously mesmerized as I stared at the hawk flying right at window level doing my same speed for a good couple of seconds until it was able to get enough lift to get higher. Then it disappeared. All I could think was "well, that escalated quickly".

Nature reflects the human world. Didn’t Toronto just have people run down by an invading thug intent on killing those native to the area? I’m disappointed in how shocked leftists are when animals do it and how indifferent they are when diverse people do the same thing.

Dont dare pick one up....Sessions will arrest you. That's no joke. I was at an event at the Philadelphia Eagles stadium and they brought out an eagle that they let fly around the stadium prior to games. Very cool, got to look at it right up close. However when they took it out of it's cage a feather dropped to the ground. A kid reached out to pick it up and the handlers ran to intercept her like she was about to touch a cobra. It's really, really illegal and they will punish you even for feathers you just find laying around.

That’s nature. Some animals eat other animals. That’s how it works.

One eagle cam viewer said he was watching the nest online when the camera suddenly went dark
ahhh....so they've mastered Mark Zuckerberg censor-the-truth-at-all-costs tactics.
Probably prepared for that after some eagles here in Pittsburgh ate a kitten on the live webcam a few years back. That probably wasn't too good for fundraising at the World Wildlife Fund.

The last thing I saw was the squirrels tail flapping in the wind as the hawk took it home We have over a dozen feeders with sunflower seed and corn for deer and birds and squirrels and the hawks think of it as a buffet.
My wife wants me to 'try and save the animal' that the hawk is taking and my response is always the same, 'Worms, hawks, buzzards, they gotta eat too.
