What a shame.

[delete306]

Why is it a federal crime? Seems like the county is perfectly equipped to handle it.

Chopped up by wind turbines is A.O.K. though.

[hadaclueonce]

Obama gave the wind generators a 30 year pass to kill as many as needed.

[Not A Snowbird]

I hope it didn’t already have a nest. It would be tough for the surviving mate to go it alone if there are eggs or young chicks.

[Kozak]

How many get minced in windmills.
But that’s OK.

Depending on the reason, I am not too torn up. There isn’t a shortage of these things and they will take calves. I have had lambs carried off by them. You can search youtube and sea the Mongolians using eagles to take down deer and wolves.

[delete306]

I don’t get the reference. I thought this one was shot.

What is wrong with people?!

[george76]

Even though wind power generates only 3 percent of U.S. electricity, wind turbines kill 573,000 birds each year each year ... Many of the birds killed by wind turbines are endangered and protected species.

Feds allow the rotor blades of wind turbines to butcher 4,200 bald eagles and 40,000 golden eagles per year

[Salamander]

They’ll try and get your dogs, too.

Didn’t know I could run that fast, anymore.

[stylin19a]

only up to 4000 a year.
1. How do you get eagles to count ?
2. How do you get windmills to count ?

[NormsRevenge]

Thank Goodness wind turbines don’t discriminate and whack&thump all eagles equally as hard..

What are national symbols all about anyway these days except to be abused. :-?

Is a burning Tesla any worse a thing to view than a burning police vehicle or a smoldering pile of feathers and sinews?

[Daffynition]

I absolutely hate turbines.

[trisham]

Yikes.

[Daffynition]

I wish every wind turbine that ruins the mountain vistas of Vermont and Maine would self-destruct.

[trisham]

There has to be a better way.

[Hot Tabasco]

Depending on the reason, I am not too torn up.

There is no reason to shoot an eagle or other raptor for that matter.

It's just indiscriminate killing that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if the individual is caught......
