Interesting. We just use chickens. Also, we shoot them with cameras.

I realize they are technically kids, but at this point their drivers licenses (when they eventually get one) should probably have "probable psychopath" permanently embossed over their picture.

The luxurious seats are stuffed with eagle down, and the dashboard laced with the beaks of 1000 eagles. Also there are some eagles under the floorboards." "That's an awful lot of eagle." "Yes. And yet... " "What's wrong?" "It's just that the luxury edition has so much more eagle,

That story just gets worse and worse (aka better and better for fark) with every line.

We pulled them over because they had a loaded rifle in their car.
Oh, and they had not one driver's license between them.
Oh, and they'd just killed a deer and dumped its body by the side of the road.
Oh, and there's a armed juvenile psychopath hiding the bushes.
He's pretty sure he killed an eagle.

Interesting fact:  Bald Eagles are no longer an Endangered, or even Threatened species.  They are common enough now that they are a "Least Concern" species.

Despite that fact, if you pick up just a single Bald Eagle feather you found just lying on the ground and take it home with you, and you aren't a member of a recognized Native American tribe, you've just committed a serious federal crime.

Which is why fake Bald Eagle feathers are a thing.

When men touch the stones they are transported back to the 1950s, a more ideal time when white uneducated family folks had high salaries, pensions, and white glove benefits. It's basically the reason we had to get rid of those high paying jobs.

Well, they used to be considered a threat to the wildlife population. As apex predators, the logic went, with no predators themselves they would naturally multiply uncontrollably if not bounties in Alaska, devouring all the salmon people depended on, followed by all other fish and animals they could consume.  Just stood to reason it would happen if people stopped slaughtering hundreds of thousands of eagles.

Strangely, this didn't happen.  People don't learn when they don't want to, however, and still think mammalian predators need to be killed to "protect" the prey species that evolved to thrive together with them.

This makes me sad. I've had two encounters with bald eagles in my life and I can't for the life of me fathom why somebody would do that.

/ just found out there is a pair of nesting Eagles at the reservoir about 10 miles from my house.
// might hop in the car later to see if I can spot them on the Frozen Reservoir
/// there's also about 10 different Hawks living in the neighborhood who I see on a regular basis
