That doesn't make it okay to kill wildlife with poisons that continue to kill anything which feeds on the carcass.
As an illustration of how seriously we treat wildlife crime, one of Bush II's last acts in office was to pardon a guy who killed a bunch of eagles with Furadan he put out to kill other animals.
In this Presidential Pardon by George Bush, only 3 eagles were inadvertently poisoned by a farmer who only intended to kill coyotes that threatened the wild turkeys he wished to protect.
There is absolutely no evidence that he ever intended to kill protected birds.
What you will never hear from Liberal Democrat LGF is that Barack Hussein Obama set a record by granting presidential pardons and clemency to 1715 convicts, including 504 that had been sentenced to life prison terms. A number of these felons were drug dealers. These drug dealers did not unintentionally poison a few protected birds. They willfully and knowingly sold poison to the children of the U.S., including large quantities of heroin, methamphetamine, crack, and cocaine.
One can only wonder how many kids died from overdoses due to these illicit drug sales. If you think about it, that's a bit worse than temporarily separating some children from illegal immigrants until it can be determined for certain whether they are actually the real parents, who are seeking asylum by sneaking around legitimate points of entry.
Here's a list of some of these pardons from the Dept. of Justice. It includes an Obama pardon to a felon convicted of a Lacey Act violation for the sale of illegal alligator hides. But again, you won't hear any complaints from LGF about that either. But telling the truth will make me the enemy and destroyer of Doublegunshop forum according to Liberals like LGF, BrentD, and rocky mtn bill.
