I don't go to zoos. I don't have to. I have a zoo right here in my own house, on my own property, and in the woods and fields around me.

I live with Bald eagles. A day rarely goes by that I don't see at least one, sometimes many more like the day I counted between 20 and 30 playing and swooping and gliding and socializing together over a field near my home.

In my opinion, the Native Americans have had to make far more concessions over the years than most of the rest of us had. Letting them have two Bald eagles, out of millions, is not going to hurt the balance of nature one iota.

Of course SCOTUS decisons are not meaningless.
Why are you so excited by Fish & Wildlife exercising its legal right? WHY are you so opposed to people acting within the law?

Apparently the SCOTUS doesn't either.

I don't remember if the poster you're referring to was one who was outraged over Mittens strapping his dog to a car or not, but I sure as hell was....and still am.

There's a huge difference between submitting an animal to twelve hours of terror and physical distress for the convenience of some idiots and the allowing of Native Americans to have TWO Bald eagles so they can practice a religious ritual.

I think it's safe to assume that those eagles won't suffer for twelve hours like poor Seamus did.

The Bald Eagle is a symbol our our countries freedom. It also is a symbol of strength and the bald eagle is in the great seal of our United States.

I was privileged one day to look into a tree that is in my back yard. There was a great bald eagle sitting there. A very large bird with beautiful markings and his yellow claws holding on to one of the branches. I got my binoculars out and my neighbors all came to witness this majestic bird perched in my tree.

First off, I'm not convinced they are acting within the law. Contrary to your belief the Fish and Wildlife department isn't the law. Next as I pointed out. This is emblamatic of the stupidity of this administration. It causes a drought in California, yet aloows Eagles to be murdered. It grants exemptions for one group and not another.
