Arapaho tribe allowed to kill two American Bald Eagles

[NY Trooper]

Does it get any more asinine than this from Washington?

That's ok.

[wildturkey]

WOW! Just WOW!

Wonder if any tribes will ask for permission to sacrafice a human? I can recommend a few.

[stratos284]

No I did not read the link but I cant imagine why anyone would want to kill an Eagle

[krainium]

I dont see a problem with them only taking two for ceremonial reasons.
Here is another thread that has been started on the subject

I don't wanna see any Eagles killed...but....the Indians was here FIRST. We invaded, remember? Sucks I know, but if our gooberment is gonna kissy kissy certain groups (ie: voter id, be here legally) then why is it the Indians are the ones that still always gets crapped on?

[waterjunkie]

First they infect yellowstone with wolf populations that are out of control and now they approve the killing of bald eagles. Yup... that's the feds for ya! They can't do anything right... freaking idiots every one of them.

Not sure why this even made the news. Happens more frequently than you think. Here is one my taxidermist did for a local tribe late last year:

This irritates me. I'm considering creating my own religion to skirt around the laws of the land. If the courts are considering sharia law, and Indian ceremonies are exempt from having to abide by law of the land, I've got to figure out my own religion to forego all the laws I don't like to be bound by.

What is even more strange than this is that the gov't actually has in archive, bones and body parts of bald eagles that it sends out to tribes to use in ceremonies. The argument was that Indians felt it was degrading to have to ask the gov't for permission to use these sacred items.

[bgibson53]

At least they went through channels to get permission.

I don't see a problem with it either. Not on the endangered species list and doing well..I'd rather they use a carcass found dead already as they often do..

Some of you guys need a hobby besides finding things in life to bitch and rant about..AMERICAN INDIANS want to kill 2 bald eagles..refresh my memory was it them or us that put that bird on the endangered species list not to long ago

[jkk]

Thats total BullSh$$ the taxidermist should have his A$$ kicked also

[Z71Dog]

There's plenty of bald eagles around. I dont' see any reason a few couldn't be taken...and native American's would get my vote for first rights.

Two things....

1. You are equating a bird to a human??
2. You sound like either a racist or a dumbazz...or both.

[KellyJoe]

I heard they're somewhere between a spotted owl and a whooping crane as far as taste goes.

^^^THIS IS A JOKE^^^

[cowtrimmer]

Oooooh the agony two less bald Eagles, what are we going to do?
