I have never heard of Aboriginal peoples killing bald eagles as part of their "culture". All my life I have been taught that Aboriginal peoples respected all nature and did nothing to harm animals, birds, etc. I don't believe it is right to kill bald or golden eagles or any other living thing and call it "culture".

A very large fine may suffice, but it doesn't put the tree back. :(

Interesting article, RCF. How sad it must have been to see the eagle pair circling in vain above their fallen nest tree.
That property owner sounds fairly unrepentant. "There seems to be quite a little upheaval there doesn't there," he said. "I'm under advisement to have no comment."
The article goes on to say:
"Section 34 of the BC Wildlife Act states that "a person commits an offence if they possess, take, injure, molest or destroy the nest of an eagle." A first conviction on a Wildlife Act violation can bring a fine of up to $100,000, one year in prison, or both."
Perhaps he will be in hot water soon.

Some people just don't follow the rules or care about them >:(

What an amazing rescue! But very sad to read that the eagle could not be saved. :'(
