The noble bird is still protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
It just too bad that future American citizens have very little protection before they are born.
If some kind of a 'bad guy' manages to end their life before birth; they may get some kind of vengeance from the courts; but very few end up vindicated.
The rest of the approximately 1,000,000 a year CHOICED to death go into the medical waste bin.
Even eagle feathers (OR OTHER PARTS) are not allowed to be possessed in this country; while PIECEs of unborn Americans are distributed at will for a 'donation'.
I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.
You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died.
But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,
and, in 1972, a law was ammended protecting us even further. (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/protect/laws.html)
What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing
of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans. Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.
Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.
I hear that by now, somewhere around 58 MILLION of them have perished.
Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and
retirement?
Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens. Perhaps they'll come to their senses
before they are ALL dead!
