Bald eagles being slaughtered in B.C.

Someone (or multiple someones) in British Columbia, Canada, has been slaughtering bald eagles lately, with another 8 dead eagles found recently as reported here.

That folks, in case you aren't aware, is our National Symbol that is being killed off. In Canada. So far, nobody seems to know why, yet, either.

Here are some possible reasons -

• The person(s) responsible thinks it's great sport;
• The person(s) responsible is doing it for body parts, to sell on the black market as 'medicinal aids';
• The person(s) responsible hates the US, and is 'getting back' at the US by killing our National Symbol (but why they would think that they are 'getting back' at the US that way beats me).

There are no legitimate reasons for this at all, and I hope that the Canadian authorities are able to find and stop the person(s) responsible for the slaughter.

Bald eagles are magnificent animals (beyond being the National Symbol of the US), and should be appreciated for that, not slaughtered.
