I can't f***ing BELIEVE I'm seeing this shit again!
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act

This law, originally passed in 1940, provides for the protection of the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and the golden eagle (as amended in 1962) by prohibiting the take, possession, sale, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any bald or golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest, or egg, unless allowed by permit (16 USC 668(a); 50 CFR 22). “Take” includes pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb (16 USC 688(c); 50 CFR 22.3). A violation of this act can result in a fine imprisonment, or both.

12. Do you mean "unless allowed by permit"? That may be for Native American ceremonies
Edited on Thu Apr-16-09 07:09 AM by HamdenRice
Iirc, when the statute was passed, they had to carve out an exception for Native American ceremonial use of eagle feathers.

Also, museums and collectors had already existing carcasses and body parts and they needed to be allowed to transfer them under regulated (permitted) conditions.

On edit: As Emily Litella would say, "never mind."

"fine imprisonment"

15. More than just feathers.
The Hopi keep Golden Eagles in a fashion that would have New Age Sedona crystal vegan wannabe Indians shitting bricks.
