well I was sitting in the barber shop reading SPIN magazine and see Eric Burdon doing some shows in the Seattle area...with a bunch of other bands like an all day festival... good for him..great singer and I love the Animals stuff...Monterey...ohh God..I think that maybe I'm dreamin'.....
but...what about the other animals...people are excusing Wendy McCuckoo's illegal behavior because she loves animals and gives money to nonprofits so they can continue not working...but Wendy is a hypocrite having given money to the Center for Biological Diversity which supported the slaughter of pigs, owls, hawks, and other species on the Channel Islands in the name of "biodiversity"...ok, I've said this all before but I know that the Channel Island "restoration" is a huge scam because the Parks Service and Nature Conservancy are propagandists....they are restoring nothing and have caused havoc on the islands..
now, I suspect that the golden eagles are back after they were trapped and removed.... the Parks Service said they didn't belong on the islands and so they rounded them up and shipped them up north and said they would never return as long as the pigs are killed off....but and the golden eagle of course flew back..so now the Parks people are blaming the golden eagles for killing some foxes...the Channel Islands fox was not endangered, but it may be now...the Bald Eagles are being re-introduced to the islands but they too like eating foxes! with the Parks Service and Nature Con, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing!!Yesterday the State of California arrested several pairs of American Bald Eagles that researchers released into the wild near the Channel Islands. Authorities charged the birds with conspiracy to kill endangered island foxes and rare seabirds for purposes of eating them.
The state's case was built on the research of Seth D. Newsome, a researcher with the department of zoology and physiology at the University of Wyoming, who determined that the Bald Eagles could begin eating the endangered animals should the availability of the bird's regular fish-based diet change.
Environmentalists celebrated the arrests saying that if the Bald Eagles refused to abide by federal endangered species laws, then the birds have abdicated their own protected status.

and from the NPS site:
"An unusual incident occurred in late May in the bald eagle nest at Pelican Harbor on Santa Cruz Island when bald eagle webcam viewers observed one of the adults bringing an island fox carcass into the nest. It is not known whether the adult bald eagles preyed upon this fox or whether they recovered a dead fox carcass. Bald eagles are known to primarily feed on fish, seabirds, and marine mammal carcasses and it is not their natural tendency to prey on terrestrial mammals."

nothing unusual about a bald eagle killing and eating a fox..what's unusual is putting webcam in an eagle's nest!!! such disrespect...
Basically, bald eagles used to eat the carrion of other seabirds — plentiful back before the DDT pollution. But now that food source isn’t so easy to come by. That’s why Seth Newsome, the lead researcher on the study, says a bigger bald eagle population could mean some unexpected bad news: “We think that the introduced eagles could scavenge seal or seal lion carrion, exert predation pressure on a threatened but recovering local seabird population, or even prey on the endangered island fox.”
According to the L.A. Times, this news is based on “an extensive analysis of the shifting diets of the opportunistic foragers from the Pleistocene era, about 20,000 years ago, to the late 1960s.” Old birdie bones show that bald eagles often changed what they ate to adapt to ecosystem changes — which means the newly recovered bird population could start nibbling on island foxes.
birds aren't vegans, they're birds and they will eat whatever is available...and if you die in the desert, they'll eat you! the FACT is the NPS and Nature Con have killed untold number of animals in the name of "biodiversity"...and they have plenty of money to continue this species cleansing charade ....
the animal rights phonies may mean well...."but people always mean well! they cluck their thick tongues and shake their heads and suggest, oh, so very delicately.” .....
