:o >:( This is disturbing news. I am shocked every time I read about the callous act of someone who takes pleasure in downing the beauty and grace of a bald eagle. I often watch North Woods Law on Animal Planet. They have often taken evidence from an animal/bird and through forensics, have traced and tracked the shooter. I can only hope they find, fine and convict the shooter(s).

Can hardly believe I’m reading this. I just don’t get what happens in a person to do this kind of thing.
I’m stunned actually. So unhappy, so disturbed.

Authorities seek tips on shooting, killing of bald eagles in Alberta

Alberta Fish and Wildlife is investigating the shooting of two bald eagles in separate areas of the province. The provincial agency says a juvenile eagle was killed in the Fort McMurray area sometime between Oct. 26 and Oct. 29, then left to waste. The second raptor involved a mature eagle found dead Oct. 20 and possibly killed the same day in a pheasant release site in the Wetaskiwin region. The agency says there is no indication the killings are connected and it's looking for tips from the public to help find whoever was responsible.
The bald eagle is a protected species in Alberta and there is no hunting season for it. The maximum penalty for killing one of the birds is a $100,000 fine or possibly two years in jail.
