This is a very interesting read!! Did you know about the new laws that are and have gone into effect to protect the Condor? What about our national bird of prey the Bald Eagle??? The state of California has set into place a new law that will outlaw the use of lead bullets for " Hunting " > It goes into effect in 2018. This was based on " Theory " that the condor that was found dead had died from a lead bullet that it had ingested. This was "theorized" to have come from bullet fragments from a hunters bullet! Now let's get to some facts that a lot of you know nothing about but mind you these are " Facts " !!The Bald Eagle is a protected species, The wind turbines at the Altamont Pass have chopped up 83 Bald Eagles! The number continues to grow. Does this make the news or the papers?? Who puts the silence to this? In fact the power company's do this with the governments permission!! How can they get away with this crap??? POLITICS is the answer !! The power companies pay a fine for each bird of prey the execute . The exact cash amount I don't know, This is another silencer by the government. So with this said how can the government justify taking our hunting rights away for 2 california condors and allow the slaughter of " who knows" the ongoing tally of the Bald Eagle?
