When A Hunter Took Beauty’s Beak, She Had No Hope Of Surviving. This Bald Eagle Might Just Make It!





http://blog.theanimalrescuesite.com/beauty-beak-repair/

Beauty the bald eagle almost died over the carelessness of a hunter. Her beak was shot off, leaving her unable to clean herself or even eat! She was miraculously saved by a group of conservationists who were able to nurse her back to health. However, without a beak, Beauty had no chance at being rehabilitated and released. Until technology stepped in.

Thanks to the combined efforts of an artist, a dentist, and a 3D printer, Beauty now has a functional beak! Now she has every chance to returning to her natural habitat and surviving! The video shows the dentist attaching her new beak, as well as an ecstatic Beauty!

★ Help Protect The Bald Eagle’s Habitat! ★ (petition here: http://therainforestsite.greatergood.com/clickToGive/trs/petition/ShellSalazar)


Hunting isn’t the only danger to bald eagles. Nearly half of the bald eagle population lives in Alaska, a delicate ecosystem that is seeing more and more of its land disappear.

By requiring research on environmental impacts of oil drilling and creating more stringent safety regulations, we can keep the bald eagle population growing!

And you can sign the petition to help protect the bald eagle population before it faces more danger.
