Wyoming Tribe Gets Rare Permit to Kill Bald Eagles [View all]

Wyoming Tribe Gets Rare Permit to Kill Bald Eagles

The agency's decision comes after the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming filed a federal lawsuit last year contending the refusal to issue such permits violates tribal members' religious freedom. Although thousands of American Indians apply for eagle feathers and carcasses from a federal repository, permits allowing the killing of bald eagles are exceedingly rare, according to both tribal and legal experts on the matter

this is sure to rustle some feathers...
