Maybe they want the eagle to have the right to choose as well?:confused:

People aren't endangered, bald eagles are.

nicely put syc.

Not to mention I haven't seen anyone argue that the bald eagle shouldn't have the right to step on it's own egg.

throw 'em back. get 'em when they're bigger?

Oh shit...that was funny.

No, they aren't.

Eagles were downgraded from endangered to threatened a couple of years ago.

This year they were removed from "threatened" status.

They're back to being run-of-the-mill birds of prey, in a legal sense.

Must be a fisherman thing...

Not yet.

I suppose I should read more than the first statement in a thread before replying...but you're right, it is murder, been twisted into a "right". Why you would want this right is beyond me, why you would practice this right sickens me.

Mine is when life begins. You have to draw a line right? I'm pretty much a live and let live kind of guy 'til we get to this issue. Every life is precious, even Sycamore who most people wish was aborted (I'm just yanking your chain Syc...you're a great example) is a wonderful, unigue human. We can't, we shouldn't play god.

I don't recall the exact numbers, but aren't MILLIONS aborted every year here in the US? That's awful damn close to being you or me, your wife or husband, your best friend being a puddle in a trash bag. Besides millions of young girls having to live with that simple procedure, that awful fact for life.

We play God in various ways every single day. Abortion is just another of those ways. As I see it, until it's born, it's fair game.

Well, don't just limit it to fertilized eggs. With scientific advances, every single cell can be a potential human life.

That's pretty cold Syc. Do you mean it?

So lets try not to kill it then eh? I hate gnats, they make me crazy, big ass wasps scare the crap outta me, but I go out of my way not to kill just because it's inconvenient to me.

I "release" woodticks for christs sake, I come from a long line of hunters, and I'm good with that, but a deer on the side of the road rotting for no purpose bugs me.

Aw shit, I just scratched my arm and killed 400.
