    The bald eagle, the icon of the USA, is being hunted towards extinction by, as you might have guessed, US Americans. Which is ironic because the USA is also being destroyed by, as everyone knows, US Americans.

    Bald eagles are fleeing towards Canada, so Americans who want to avoid their own destruction should probably do the same.

    The moving of the bald eagle to Canada isn’t disrupting it’s local wild life and balance but I think this will be different when there will be an influx of uneducated self centered hillbillies.

      Mmmmm, smells like you’re full of shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_eagle

      The bald eagle is the national bird and national symbol of the United States and appears on its seal. In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extirpation in the contiguous United States, but measures such as banning the practice of hunting bald eagles and banning the use of the harmful pesticide DDT slowed the decline of their population. Populations have since recovered, and the species’ status was downgraded from “endangered” to “threatened” in 1995 and removed from the list altogether in 2007.

      At best your shit is 20 years old. Since you’re stuck back in the early aughts, maybe you should warn people bout the dangers of the coming decades?

      … it’s illegal to touch a bald eagle, let alone hunt one. Their populations are thriving in the US. What are you even talking about?

      What are you talking about? Bald eagle populations are thriving and they’ve been removed from the endangered species list. Are there still shitsheads? Always will be.

      I think you misjudge who will be migrating to Canada. certainly it’s the cute gay couple and not the methed-up cousin fucker.

      There are plenty of bald eagles around me, I see one about once a month. It’s crazy to see one on the side of the road, tearing hunks of meat off a dead squirrel or possum, as the buzzards look on forlornly, hoping there will be some left over when he’s done.

      Eagles are an impressive bird, with those talons and that beak. I wouldn’t want to tangle with one.
