Who's Killing Eagles For Powwow Profit!

[smoothtown]

I personally wouldn't buy or trade for any feathers that I didn't know where they came from. My last bird came from my brother who found dead on the river banks while hunting deer. For me, I think its a matter of respect. I think people don't eat meat because of the way the animals are violently killed, and they say that absorbs into the life force. And when we absorb that by eating it, we get negativity. That goes for the eagles that are violently blasted for its tail and plumes. I wouldn't wanna use those tainted feathers cause who knows what kinda bad medicine is created when $uckers do that to "our messenger" as it was put earlier. It seems like it wasn't too long ago that the threat of losing our sacred bird was clear and present, but now they are off the Endangered Species list and here we as native people are about to put them right back on! what tha Pluck? Do we really have any intregrity?

The word is that as many as 50 dead birds have been found, but that may be the tip of the iceberg. Some sources say that as many as 500 birds a year may be killed on the south coast of B.C. The people who may be responsible are said to be young native men, who are killing the birds for a middle man who then sells them on the black market. This what the news up here has been saying so far, just a heads up for those of you from the States who don't get our newscasts.

Like that scares me

Its all perfectly legal here in Canada to trade and possess feathers no matter who you are.

Big tip... go to your local dump in the summer time, dime a dozen there if you get there at the right time

For Canadians only ( Sorry can't ship to US*illegal big time) I know of a place where the Bald Eagle feathers are freely available, and I do know of someone now that might be up for a trade.

PM or Email me for details. No, this is NOT a joke, or a scam. I really do know who this person is, and that is who I made my trade with to get my feathers.

I have several feathers that I might like to trade for a nice beaded set. Also have some that might have potential to make a fan, with two spotted wing feathers, and two white, for a fan like that. They do need some work though, mostly just shaping and cleaning. Definately NOT ugly looking feathers.

I heard about that on the news some weeks back. That is sad. People should just register with Fish & Wildlife and get on the waiting list.

Yeah I waited FOUR YEARS for mine!!

People should stop being so greedy and disrespectful of our animal friends. Don't they know every animal has a particular place in this world, and when things are out of balance, it's usually the animals that disappear first! When I grew up; my dad was a real alcoholic. He also happened to be the best hunter in the family; even though he liked his drink, that's one thing he would never do, never to hunt when drinking. He still held great respect for the deer, elk and antelope. Theres a word for it, but I can't remember what it was, but if you go hunting, or anything else concerning animals, you will never see one or take one for food again. Up here; in my husband's tribe, the word is,"Ne'Klahn'nee" because much of my and his traditional beliefs are similar.
