So completely ridiculous, like somehow naming them interrupts their “wild nature”. I and thousands of others have watched the pair of eagles in Hanover, PA. nest for many years. We have watched from mating, eggs hatching to fledging. Every year the watchers give the new babies names, the Adult pair are Freedom and Liberty. THIS year the PA Game Commission has issued a directive prohibiting this group from naming them. Looks like the cancel culture has a new target.
“ THE naming of the hatchlings and their offspring introduces an element of domestication. In order to respect the eagles wild nature we ask that you refrain from naming the hatchlings. We've consulted with our partners, the Pennsylvania Game Commission on how to distinguish these hatchlings and decided to refer to the first hatchling as H313 (Hanover+March 13th) and the second hatchling will be referred to with a similar naming convention. We appreciate your understanding and sharing in this amazing experience with us!
I name them cancel and culture, come get me in Texas!
BHAHHAHAAHHA
All the good names are racist.
Name them anyway.
Then tell the game commission idiots to sit on it.
Sounds like the game commission is jealous of the clowns in charge of the Chinese virus incarceration.
Wtf
Soooo stupid!
Isn’t calling one “H1N1” or whatever also “naming” them?
Oh, I get it! We should all get used to being numbered! It won’t be just the eagles, it’ll be our human children next!
And just HOW are these cretins gonna know that you named the chicks or what the names are? And what if you did? They’re gonna knock on your door in the middle of the night with a pair of cuffs? Is there no end to this PC garbage?
Ok, in most areas, giving human names to eagles stopped a few years ago. A male is now officially named M-xx, Female, F-xx. But of course the birds do not know the difference. It’s the bird watchers/photographers who get overly emotionally involved.
Believe me, I love birds, but when I see birders writing poems about the a pair of birds, or “grieving” like they lost a member of their own family when a bird gets eaten or hit by a car... yikes.
These are wild animals
Not people or domestic pets like our cats and dogs. So I’m fine w/this convention
Our Big Bear Lake Eagles are Jackie and Shadow... so there PA!!! You all go lay cancel culture eggs...

Don’t mentally scar them for life by trying to assume their gender pronouns!
Yes, on an official scientific basis that makes sense. But it is ridiculous to associate a dedicated group of people who anticipate this hatching event to stop naming them. It’s not like anyone expected the wildlife commission to use the endearing names watchers use to informally identify them. But what can it possibly hurt? Just more governmental control, and not surprised that it comes from Pennsylvania. I only wish there was this much “respect”for the nature of the unborn children who have been murdered in the womb, maybe they could be given a number......... Fetus60,000,001.
