Fish and Wildlife estimates around 143,000 bald eagles and 40,000 golden eagles in the U.S. and believes the current population can handle an additional loss of numbers.

In other words, they have no idea.

Looking back at previous failed liberal policies, I expect the American Bald Eagle to become extinct in the not too distant future, but at least we'll have gazillions of wind turbines blotting out the countryside so we'll feel good about it.

Let’s see the ELF terrorists start blowing up windmills. Pass the popcorn.

Except they won’t. Not to save the symbol of American liberty.

We have an Eagle who regularly flies over our place. I’ve been known to just shut the tractor off to sit and watch. Such a grand bird. I don’t use any chemicals on our 10 acre lawn. It is full of mice, toads, chipmunks, tree rats (squirrel) and occasionally see a mink roll through. I am waiting for the day I get to see the big bird eat.

“bald Eagle” is a code-word for “conservative white male”.

Could it be because their beloved windmills and solar power are killing them all?

The headline makes it sound like the Feds have control over whether eagles live or die.

Awfully reminiscent of the Chinese government which gives or withholds permission for Buddhists to reincarnate and Christians to be saved or not.

Bove says the driving force behind the change is the expansion of wind energy across the country. He says wind farms have caused the deaths of bald and golden eagles.

...

If the proposed change is approved, Bove says the government will allow 2,000 golden eagles and up to 6,000 bald eagles to be killed each year without penalty. Right now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services allows around 1,000 deaths.


Meanwhile, if a serf so much as picks up a Bald Eagle feather, that serf will have his ass thrown in jail for up to two years and fined $250,000.

They are in about as much danger of going extinct as Norway rats in NYC.

ya think the Obammunists would ever allow the number of “legally” slaughtered eagles to quintuple if it was new oil rigs or nuclear power plants killing ‘em?

Symbolism. The eagle is a symbol of America’s greatness. Windmills are a symbol of candy-a$$ liberalism. Naturally, bam favors windmills.
