2. The religious reason is so hypocritical in light of the recent attack on the Catholic religion

Pssst.....there has been no attack on the Catholic religion. Quit listening to Fox.

3. The liberals that fight developments to save a snail are okay with Obama allowing Bald Eagles to be shot. They are zombies.

Huh????

4. There has been such a long term effort to keep them from extinction but now it is okay to kill them.

Yes, I am sure by allowing TWO Bald eagles to be killed, the whole species will be thrown back into the throes of near extinction.
Hey, I am as big an animal lover as you will ever come across (and I have the critters to prove it), but even I see this as a non-issue.

Besides, I would be more concerned about a presidential candidate who thinks it's ok to strap a dog to the roof of a car for a 12-hour road trip than the fact that TWO Bald eagles are going to be killed for religious purposes. I'm sure those eagles will suffer far less than poor Seamus did.

Because we had a hard time bringing them back from the brink...I am sick of these barbaric "religions" and their outdated rituals. These are the people of the earth...yeah right. Where are the animal rights warriors on this one? PETA...hello? Those beautiful birds, what a pity. Oh on another note regarding the people of the earth...I have one of the puppies that you so thoughtlessly tossed on a snow covered road up in norther AZ a year ago to die along with his litter mates...he is fine now and very happy.

I'd like to know why Native Americans in this day and age feel the need to carry out actually killing a bald Eagle. I mean it's not like their religion has really done them any good anyways with alcoholism and gambling national past times for most of them. Believing that killing some beautiful creature like a bald Eagle to satisfy some outdated and insignificant religious beliefs. So go ahead kill all the bald Eagles you want. Won't change anything lol.

Indeed ..... "America's Proud and Patriotic Citizens" had damn well better wake up and vote this "Mess" out of the "Ole Yankee WH" before there is nothing left of the "Greatness" regarding the America we dearly love !

The Majectic Bald Eagle ! .......... What kind of a pathetic of a pea brain would even think of harming these magnificent creatures ?
How absolutely pitiful the WH crew truly is !

Cheers ! ......... OLD SGT.<<>>> LAMAR !
I remember the first time I saw one in the wild 10 years ago in N. CA. It was swooping down to catch a trout. The most fantastic sight I had seen in my life. They are precious. Time for the American Indian to join the new millinium and can the ritual bs.

So what? I love people like you. Just because you're an "animal lover" and have a pack full of "critters" you some how understand the delicate balance that exists in nature and planetary ecosystems? Animals should be left in the wild with as little intrusion by man as possible. I suppose because you go to zoos you must be informed as well right?

The issue is the stupidity of this administration. It allows Bald Eagles to be killed yet causes a drought in California to protect a fish. Go figure.

America needs more kill-crazed nitwits with guns. There's plenty of critters out there. Don't be a wussie! Get out there and kill something...to prove your manhood.

Straws? Really? Were you one of the outraged when Mitt Romney strapped a dog (in a crate) to the top of his car? These birds are far more sacred in my opinion. You are all so pathetic with your blind devotion to this president.

You don't think, do you?
