Had I been there when the attack started, and would I have killed the bird - you bet.....but with what I know now I would have said nothing and buried it to China. You have no idea the hassle and red tape we had to go through, not to mention the attorney fees. Theses are federal laws!
So good luck every -- what'em like a hawk  |
Did they rescind the $10,000 fine or did you have to pay it? I understand the Federal Laws are there to protect birds, but this seems utterly ridiculous given the circumstances.
