Court Orders Fisherman to Apologize to Eagle

(Sioux Falls, SD) A peaceful Sunday of fishing turned sour for Josh Williams recently. The problems started when Mr. Williams hooked a nice smallmouth bass, and a bald eagle took notice. While the eagle swooped in, attempting to catch the bass in its talons, Mr. Williams was observed by a Fish and Wildlife Service officer trying to scare the eagle away by throwing stones at it.

A new poll is up!

Who is your favorite environmentalist?

Right now, the one I voted for, Ted Nugent, is in the lead!

Yahoo! Kill it an’ grill it!!!! Now that's environmentalism I can deal with. Don't forget the hot sauce! Brings out the true flavor in bald eagle.

I think the Judge is pulling the Fish and Game ecocrazies chain and Mr. Williams is going along with the joke.

Uh, doesn’t anybody think maybe this judge has a sense of humor and did this to piss off the stupid Fish and Game people?

That was my impression...the judge flipping off the feds...my question is...how do they know if he is apologizing to the right eagle? Did Mr. Williams pick him out of a line-up?

From the story, Levitating Islands Captured by Spy Satellite:

“The date and time that the imagery was gathered by the satellite was checked against local newspaper reports, but no mention of the incident could be found. Upon further investigation, it was ascertained that the final episode of the popular TV show ‘American Idol’ was airing at the time, which might explain the absense of eye-witness accounts of this unusual event.”

LOL! The whole site is a riot! Thank you, This Just In, for bringing to us!

1. Source is the Eco ENQUIRER!
2. The other stories are about UFOs and such
3. In the pic above, did they capture the eagle, violating it's right to be fly free, in order to get this picture?
4. I call Bullshi'ite!

The Eagle and the man need to apologize to the fish!

The fish was minding his own business and along comes some fake food dragged by a vicious human intent on depriving the fish of life and liberty. The Eagle, clearly an opportunist, saw this process and decided to horn in on the action. I would suggest that the eagle had some Vulture blood in his pedigree as his behavior is entirely unacceptable!

Have you heard that they’re now saying that DDT would not have thinned the shells of bird’s eggs so those millions of people lost their lives for nothing? And it’s still banned of course.

The Malaria Control Board was the only government agency ever to vote itself out of existence in the (I believe)1950s because they accomplished their mission to eradicate Malaria. I have a hard time getting my head around the notion that a, supposedly, Christian country of the last half century, could have turned such a blind eye to the extermination of so many millions of people, much less the 50 or so million babies aborted in this country.
