Blind no more

Family pets have been targeted by illegal boarder crossers in what seems to be a cruel prank. Sandy Schlesinger of Arivaca, AZ had his dog blinded by pepper spray which he unknowingly witnessed as the illegal aliens he had once assisted with water and food doused his dog's face as it lay in a kennel outside of his house. This is not an isolated event as veterinarians in the area have seen a number of pets brought in with pepper spray burns. This seems like another argument against the "guest worker program" since animal cruelty has been linked to a number of other violent crimes and anyone willing to break a federal trespassing laws will likely venture to commit other crimes. In any case, Mr. Schlesinger has had his eyes opened and has decided not to assist his backyard criminals any longer.

Fact or Crap?

It is a Felony to sell Migratory birds, i.e. Bald Eagles?

A guilty party could be charged with a misdemeanor, $2,000 fine and imprisonment up to 2 years?

A person could be charge $100,000-$200,000 with the purpose to ATTEMPT to take or bait such animals with imprisonment?

A person could be charged 10,000 and imprisonment for even possesing a feather of a bald eagle?

What shall your answers be?.......

I'm sure it's all fact Sara.

The one that gets me though is the $25,000 fine (it might be higher) or ONE YEAR imprisonment for destroying...get this...a bald eagle's EGG.

But I didn't think it was a life until it was born?

Good grief.

Yes and my point was "people" hold higher a birds egg, feather or whatever better than a human child...sick! Don't you dare try to sell a bird but go ahead and murder a baby.
