Furadan, the pesticide used to kill those bald eagles, is being used to poison wildlife on a vast scale in Africa. A lion kills your cow, just sprinkle a few pennies worth on the carcass and the whole pride dies when they come back the next night. Along with every scavenger - hyena, jackal, eagle, and vulture - that feeds on it. Poisoning has been the primary factor in the collapse of lion populations, and vultures, which were ubiquitous in savanna Africa until twenty years ago, are now nearing extinction. Vultures are also poisoned deliberately by ivory poachers,so that authorities cannot easily find elephant carcasses, and for their bits and pieces for use in magic. Elephants are also targeted by poisoning waterholes. Lake fish are harvested for human consumption with Furadan and other chemicals.
As Brent said, not much good is happening out there. New info on this issue (Maryland eagles/furadan) this week on local DC TV stations. A raccoon was also found dead nearby to the eagles and it was determined that the raccoon was killed by furadan. It is suspected that the eagles had then fed on the dead raccoon. Information that conveniently or not was left out of most of the initial reporting. My 2 cents. Still a bad thing but I don't believe that anyone was targeting the eagles.

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.

Sadly most farmers have let the chemical companies get them by them by the balls...
High yields along with the ease of farming...compared to years past. A few farmers have woken up but not too many...truth is the only people making a profit off farming are the chemical and genetically altered seed companies. Wrong. Corporations have everyone by the balls. The goal is to grow eat up competition paying out least in doing so while maximizing profits. That is why legal emigrants to our shores now come from what our Leader said "shit-hole"? counties. Those people will work hard for same or less than workers born here. Corporate executives, bankers, investors and politicians don't care because their kids don't have to compete with kids of newcomers nor do they have to compete for jobs with the parents. Norwegians aren't going to leave wealthy prosperous country where they work to live to come into a system where people live to work. This is not hard to understand. It looks as if your talk about leaving this horrible Capitalist Nation is as bogus as your bullshit stories about guns you claimed to own, but merely had on Layaway. When you talk about shopping at Whole Foods, I'd guess it's actually dumpster diving considering the pathetic inability to complete the purchase of some relatively inexpensive guns you've had to put on 24 hour hold or Layaway. When you emigrated here, did you misunderstand the inscription on the Statue of Liberty to read "Give me your tired, your poor, and your lazy lying bitchers, whiners, and envious complainers..."?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Keith contributes, as usual. No wonder forum participation is down. If he'd just confine himself to gun talk, he'd be tolerable. His diatribes, however, are merely boring. Why do you suppose he just keeps repeating himself? Perhaps it's early-onset dementia.

It might be more interesting if you could explain why you feel the need to tell lies and to denigrate pro-gun politicians Billy. But we all see that your style is to drop a load of Liberal Left DNC propaganda, and then run off like a sissy when you get caught in yet another lie. Got anything positive to contribute about pesticides??? Wait, I know... Trump, Bush, and Cheney are secretly poisoning illegal immigrants and their children in secret Republican Concentration Camps... after waterboarding them first!

It's on my way back home from Wegman's and Cabela's which are next to one another. I get eggs, buckwheat honey, yogurt and Latvian smoked sprats from Whole Foods Market.

Unfortunately pro-gun politicians are very conservative and suck when it comes to social issues. The problem with liberal Democrats is they get funding from entities who are pro gun control. These entities also control mass media which is why we are where we are. Concentration camps in true sense of the word were invented by the Germans. First ones were opened ca. 1904 in what is today Namibia. One of the most notorious was located on Shark Island.

You mean social issues such as trying to stop upwards of 30 million illegal immigrants from taking jobs and depressing wages of working class Americans. Or perhaps insisting that the same workers are able to compete on a level playing field against foreign workers and their unfair tariffs and trade restrictions on American products. Or is your idea of social issues something like Welfare, Food Stamps, taxpayer funded medical care for loafers, open borders, and restrictions on the 2nd Amendment rights of law abiding citizens? Tell us again how you voted for Trump. There still may be one or two gullible guys who swallow your bullshit.

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. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/obama-pardons
