A federal government decision to allow a Wyoming tribe to kill two bald eagles for a religious ceremony is a victory for American Indian sovereignty as well as for long-suppressed religious freedoms, the tribe says. The Northern Arapaho decline to say specifically what they will do with the eagles the federal permit allows them to kill.

My work as a wildlife rehabilitator over the past forty-five years has allowed me a unique perspective on a disturbing trend. Consider this: ninety percent of birds treated at wildlife centers are admitted as a result of human interactions that have nothing to do with “nature.”

This article describes the devastation being inflicted on Montana's wildlife by serial poachers. I would have thought serial poaching and serial killing were essentially the same, with the difference being the species, but this article says there is a difference.

When I reached the levee earlier that morning, I met an elderly hunter from whom I learned that there was an ongoing duck and pheasant hunt, but no one was shooting from, nor towards the embankment, hence I should be safe there. The only wildcat I found was illegally killed by hunters during closed season.

But in Iraq, and more exactly, Kurdistan and Iraqi Kurdistan, they are supposed to be there (and are regularly hunted and eaten) and the fighting is not supposed to be there. Researchers are wondering if the die-off might spread to other birds or even fish. BBC has the story as a video. Since then the deaths haven’t stopped.

What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? And I submit that it poses an unacceptable risk to whooping cranes to encourage hunting of the very populations of sandhill cranes that mingle with them. Another thing to consider.

What put this once small fishing town on the map was not birds but mammals, specifically whales and dolphins.

Assuming you have a passing interest in wildlife, or at the least you know someone that does, and chances are in the last week or so you’ve become aware that some lady from America shot a lion. Cheetahs would be quite happy with you shooting Lions as Lions are bastards that keep stealing their kills.

However, there are still instances where individuals intentionally kill birds and there are criminal prosecutions under the MBTA, though they are uncommon. The case involved two men, Douglas “Vance” Crooked Arm and Kenneth Shane, and they were charged with baiting and killing eagles and hawks to make fans of tail feathers.
