The only good eagle is a coin, and a double eagle is twice as good.

Lord, what is this nation coming to?
Would they have prefered that he not "harrass" it,
and end up with it picking up HIS fish and getting hooked?
My god, the trouble he would have been in THEN!

The FWS officer testified in U.S. District Court of South Dakota that Mr. Williams had clearly violated one of the Endangered Species Act's prohibited activities that specifically makes it illegal to "...harass....an endangered or threatened species without a permit from the Secretary of the Department of the Interior." I think this government employee has way too much free time on his hands to bring a worthless charge such as this against the fishermanm, based on the facts as presented here. Some government employees just love their so-called power and authority too much!

"illegal to harass without a permit..."
Were do I get one of these permits?
I don't care about eagles, but I'd sure like to do some harassing of the NYT editorial staff, and a few Supreme Court Justices.
Are these permits expensive?
How long are they good for?

LOL, my brother went fishing in a local lake, it was near twilight and when he cast out his line a bat swooped down and took the bait and the line along with it.
It took the line out pretty far before my brother reeled him in.

The judge agreed, finding the man guilty of a misdemeanor violation of the Act. The judge was lenient in sentencing, however, requiring only that the man apologize to the eagle. You get the sneaking suspicion that the judge thinks this law is a bit silly?
