I KNOW that I will catch flak for this...but. I have thick skin.
I look at bald eagles in the same category as a coyote. Just doing what they do to survive, and I understand that.
Same State Park where I BB-gunned the coyote that people were feeding and ran him off.
Spring thaw on the lake. At least two dozen eagles eating carrion that they had found.
Older couple (probably 75) came to walk their small dog and he was probably 25 yards in front of them. no leash.
Eagle dropped down, sunk his talons into the dog. Swooped off with Fido yelping all the way. Landed on the lake ice
in front of them and proceeded to eat lunch. They will pick off house cats as well.
The older couple were devastated.
