I favor the change. The article says:Walker wrote:They're not hurting anyone.

"But, U-S Fish and Wildlife Director Dan Ashe has said the change will spur development of pollution-free energy and reduce the nation's dependency on fossil fuels."
Not only does this help humankind, I believe it helps all kinds of life (including eagles).

Re: Rule-writers hate Eagles
By the reasoning you quoted, wishful thinking justifies killing eagles.
The practicality of windmills is wishful thinking. This is why the industrial revolution replaced wind power.
What if wishful thinking determines that a certain number of human deaths are acceptable for a rosy future.
Oh, wait a minute …
Wishful thinking for the future is sometimes the determinate of irrevocable death in the present, but always for another individual eagle than the rule-writer.
Hummm.
People can find other ways to turn on their little machines without erecting irresponsible totem poles across the landscape, worshiping the goodness of the weather and themselves.

Re: Rule-writers hate Eagles
Wishful thinking you say. You seem to have a pessimistic view of government. Let me know when you come up with hard evidence as to how many more eagles would die under the proposed changes. And btw, I don't equate animal life with human life as humans do care - can you say the same about animals?Walker wrote:By the reasoning you quoted, wishful thinking justifies killing eagles.

Re: Rule-writers hate Eagles
You gents had to import eagles from Canada, because you killed most of them. Same as buffalo. We had to take in your retired cavalry horses because you were going to slaughter them as useless.

Every case should be judged on its merits. I often find in these discussions that important points are overlooked due to prejudice and other reasons.Dalek Prime wrote:You gents had to import eagles from Canada, because you killed most of them.

It occurs to me that the very existence of the society that insists on this crass and overbearing consumerism can't at the same time afford to preserve the environment which sustains the American Bald Eagle.
The USA needs to at least try to join up the fucking dots.

Canada needs to build a wall against the USA. All those who can't afford health insurance, bringing their diseases into Canada - you might need to build it high to stop the poisonous air too.Dalek Prime wrote:You gents had to import eagles from Canada, because you killed most of them.

Sorry about that.

Buffaloes are in Asia.Dalek Prime wrote:You gents had to import eagles from Canada, because you killed most of them. Same as buffalo. We had to take in your retired cavalry horses because you were going to slaughter them as useless.
Bison are in North America.
Buffalo sounds cooler though. Bison Bill lacks panache.

'Bison Bill' sounds quite good actually. Anyway, the murdering prik doesn't deserve a pet name.
