So you are ok with not obeying laws, when the murder weapon is something you deem beneficial?Unlike the guy shooting eagles, wind turbines serve a purpose that benefits everyone.Are you in favor of not obeying the federal law against killing eagles for the guy who runs a wind turbine, but not the guy who hits one with his car or shoots one with a gun?So for the sake of a few kilowatts libtards are willing to make Eagles extinct. Way to go environmentalists!
I hope this is something President Trump reverses.
Final wind-turbine rule permits thousands of eagle deaths
The Obama administration on Wednesday finalized a rule that lets wind-energy companies operate high-speed turbines for up to 30 years -- even if means killing or injuring thousands of federally protected bald and golden eagles.
Why is it the Contards only love eagles when it means stopping wind power?
a) Eagles are not in danger of going 'extinct' because of this
b) This is not even on of the major causes of eagle deaths- isn't it odd that Contards like you are not actually working to stop any of the actual major causes of eagle deaths? Since you 'care' so much?
68% of Bald Eagle Deaths Are Caused by Humans |
- Electrocution by power lines
- Lead poisoning- from eagles eating animals with lead shot in them
- Shooting
- Collisions with buildings, wires, cars
- And of course habitat loss
How many eagles have been killed by wind turbines?
But at a minimum, the scientists wrote, wind farms in 10 states have killed at least 85 eagles since 1997, with most deaths occurring between 2008 and 2012, as the industry was greatly expanding.
Hmmm 85 eagles since 1997.....2 a year?
I love eagles- but if we want to save eagles- maybe we should focus on eliminating the larger threats rather than on one of the most minor threats.
What murder? Who is being murdered?
I think that wind turbine owners should be held to the same standard as power companies with high voltage lines.
Which actually kill a large portion of the eagles actually killed each year- unlike wind turbines.
Actually I am in favor of reducing harm to eagles.
We do not arrest electric companies whose power lines electrocute eagles, nor do we arrest hunters who hunt with lead shot that is injested by eagles and kills them.
The hypocrisy is rife- because the conservatives who bring this up never raise any other issues regarding any wildlife- except birds and wind turbines.
They don't care if millions of birds are killed each year by pet cats. Or that birds die from poison planted to kill coyotes and other 'nuisance' animals. They don't care if birds die when their habitat is cleared out for a coal plant.
Oddly enough- they only show up to care when it comes to complaining about alternative power production.
Which is why I always point out the major causes of eagle and raptor death- and conservatives always want to ignore them.
