Eco-weenies are okay with native Americans being permitted to kill several bald eagles a year for ceremonial purposes.

Any other group would have the ASPCA and wildlife groups up in arms for killing animals in sacrifice, let alone endangered species.

******************************
Absolutely no reason to continue to permit American Indians to kill eagles to get feathers for their rites. Enterprising Amerinds should be able to just gather all the eagle feathers they want from the ones that are killed by the wind farms near areas where eagles habitate. They could then sell the feathers to Amerinds all over the country.
