Bush pardons bald eagle killer who used furadan
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Dec 05 2008 | By: Claudia Hodkinson
I find it hard to believe but last week President George Bush pardoned a man who poisoned and killed two bald eagles using Furadan.
According to this article in Seattlepi.com Leslie Collier, a Missouri corn and soybean farmer is guilt of “poisoning two Bald Eagles and killing them. The poisoning wasn’t purposeful. He meant instead to kill another American icon — coyotes, who he feared would kill wild turkey that had reappeared on property he farms after he believed they had gone extinct”.
“…he laid a trap of ground beef laced with the pesticide Furadan, which, under federal law, may not be used as animal poison. Seven coyotes died after eating the beef. But several other animals fed on their carcasses and died as well, including the bald eagles.”
I guess bald eagles and coyotes among others, will be happy to say farewell to Bush and “Welcome Obama”.

Oh, the things Bush/Cheney are doing right now are positively nefarious. They’re deregulating the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Endangered Species Act so that all their Big Oil buddies can start drilling wherever they please. These proposed rule changes are not publicly announced and typically have only a 10-day comment period - the minimum allowed by law. So the fact that Bush is pardoning wildlife poisoners is appalling, but not even surprising. On his way out, he’s attempting to do as much damage to our ecosystems and wildlife as possible. The man is walking, talking EVIL.
