Jan. 12, 2008, 8:13 a.m.AAAAAAAAAA... (Eagle Screams )AAAAAAAAA... OMG, THIS IS SO BAD!!!!!! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!! THIS WAS PREVENTABLE!!!!
They need to be fined for each bird death, it is $500,000 per bird by law, I am so depressed!!!!!!!!!! This has ruined my weekend, I am in mourning!!!!!!!
How can they be so stupid, they know something like this attracts the birds, this was human neglect and thoughtless actions!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAA... (Eagle Screams) AAAAAAAAAA...

Jan. 12, 2008, 10:32 a.m.Those Eagles and any wild life are crucial to the environment. Their food supply must be almost like scarce. I thought they didn't eat any thing that they didn't kill themselves. That is one bird that should never be taken off the endangered species list. My kids and I had the pleasure of exchanging views with one. It was perched on the roof of a church, we stood in the parking lot, trading views of each other, then it started to take off and dipped toward us like it was coming down to us. Then it went up. We saw it flying around about a week off and on. I saw two flying last summer.

Jan. 12, 2008, 11:04 a.m.Yeah. It is sad. But you ignorant slackjaws will cry over some birds while human fetuses fill trash bins around our cities.
The Eagle is not endangered in Alaska. Not even threatened.
The Eagle will be fine.
Taking money from a company--so much that it hurts them, will only hurt the families they employ. So really you are hurting the children.
What do you evil people have against the human babies that all you want to do is kill them and take away their food and toys!?!?

Jan. 12, 2008, 12:04 p.m.this is sad. but, let's see where this goes. this just happened. so let's give ocean beauty a chance to respond to the problem.
it could have been a simple problem of human error by a new employee, or someone not doing their job, or the trucking company's mistake, or just the truck driver going for coffee break at the wrong time.
this is definitely a sad situation. and in need of an investigation to find the problem, and make sure it doesn't happen again.
please don't take this as indifference to the story. but a boycott of the company named, hurting the many families of its employees maybe premature. definitely email the company to find out what happened, and what will be done about it. and keep an eye out for the products they are involved in. but, let us find out what happened, first.
(and bringing up the "fetus" issue is inappropriate for this thread.) go create another thread for that.

"name 1 person on here who said they care more about eagles then they do about humans??? just name 1"
How about every last one of you. You do know that it is a crime to disturb a Bald Eagle's eggs.
But an unborn human. That is just lifeless flesh.

Jan. 12, 2008, 12:48 p.m.wow, the bald eagle really does represent what this country is all about, greed. Those poor birds just couldn't help but getting the goods, even at the stake of their own demise. And what's funny is that the gov had to step in and help the birds, after they got themselves into a hole. I was waiting for a "and the moral of the story is....."

Jan. 12, 2008, 12:50 p.m.This is actually a good thing. Since I do believe in the natural survival of the fittest (weaklings like STONERS need help and sensors) the Eagles that overate but still survived will pass on their superior genes and the Eagle will be better for it!

Jan. 12, 2008, 12:59 p.m.All things need our care and compassion, whether its unborn children or eagles in Alaska. I do hope the fish co. suffers a huge fine for irresponsibility. But happy that some people cared enough to take quick action to save the birds they could. Wow....I didn't know that about Obama and the born alive infant protection act.

Jan. 12, 2008, 1:30 p.m.My grandfather farmed our farm for over 75 years and never saw a bald eagle but in the last 10 years we are starting to see them in the fall and sometimes in the spring. until you actually see one of the birds and relize what an enormous bird they are I don't think you can respect them. The numbers of these birds are on the rise but to loose this many because of stupidity is sad. This fall we counted 11 on one day, they were feeding on a small creek that was open and the water runs over a set of rapids which gives them easy picking.
