2 Illegal Migrants Who Killed a Bald Eagle To Eat in Nebraska Say They Thought it Was a Vulture

Two illegal migrants from the Republic of Honduras were busted on Tuesday in Nebraska after shooting and killing a North American bald eagle with the intention of cooking and eating it. The two men, who only spoke Spanish, told authorities through an interpreter app that they taught the bird was a vulture.

Who the heck could mistake a red headed or black headed vulture with a bald eagle? And further, who would want to eat a nasty vulture?

Yes. It’s just as illegal, both are protected.

No one in their right mind is going to eat a Vulture.

They were going to sell eagle parts.

Thank you!

In other words, they knew the difference. They just wanted to kill something.

I used to watch bald eagles from my deck play. There would be a half dozen of them just soaring and throwing something to each other.
Magnificent creatures.

If this was an air gun as reported, they only wounded it. There’s more to this.
I want their asses out of my country.

[Mmmmm, delicious Volture. I like stove top with mine.]


Did a quick google. Best description I could find - it has the texture of chicken and the flavor of liver. Sounds like something you’d need generous quantities of spice to make palatable. And gloves, as well as antibiotics and ivermectin to ward off bacteria and parasites. Strictly for fans of exotic meats.

Back in the day, I had canned alligator and ostrich meat from Sportsman’s Warehouse. Can’t say they tasted particularly distinctive.

I can still be somewhat naïve I guess.
Though it is probably best to always extend benefit of doubt first.

“Theodore Roosevelt wanted the Grizzly Bear to be the official mascot...”

Then we couldn’t be “kicking the bear” any longer.

BTW: He was right about the “glorified vulture”.

Nobody is so ignorant as to confuse an eagle with a vulture, and even less so as to want to eat it.

Nobody. They are lying, because they think it will help their case.

How did the illegals get a firearm? There are an abundance of possible charges for violating both state and federal laws. If the feds whimp out the state of Nebraska should throw the book at them and after jail time in Nebraska they should immediately deported. I’m all for immediately deporting any family members as well.

If they wanted to see a vulture, all they had to do was look in the mirror. Stupid idiots think they’re Americans and they don’t even know what the national bird is? I’ll bet their I.Q.s combined can’t get them out of single digits.

If they had waited a while the food geniuses would be coming out with Plant-based bald eagle wings they could have eaten.

Vulture meat is the BEST. They only eat the best of everything.
