The bald eagle is one of the birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.A federal judge in New York struck down a Trump administration decision to scale back U.S. government protections for migratory birds.
"It is not only a sin to kill a mockingbird, it is also a crime," Caproni wrote."That has been the letter of the law for the past century. But if the Department of the Interior has its way, many mockingbirds and other migratory birds that delight people and support ecosystems throughout the country will be killed without legal consequence."
Just before leaving office, the Obama administration issued a legal opinion saying that the Migratory Bird Treaty Act does include the incidental killing of birds.
Trump is an ideoit! The sooner he is out, the better.
MsButterflyyy 🙌🙌 I’m sure mockingbirds are lovely but eagles ROCK 🦅
Will she change her decision// if the store's run out of food; due to allowing all the world to move to U.S?
This is an Eagle!
dhershiser The Trumps kids are crying....what will they shoot at now?
jamlouh
K_Thomas_Ross God there is no end to this administration’s declarations to kill every living creature that breaths from America’s iconic WildHorses, Bears,Wolves & their cubs( yes even babies ) to even endangered animals thanks to this judge but geez the Eagle is the Emblem of the Nation
radiant_path Thank God for some judges.
Love the birds we need them to transfer sees and rebuild the forests. They are part of our work force protect the birds
This will just be overturned, it is amazing how corrupt the left are, taking the law into their own hands. Laws are not made by judges, they are made by those we elect.
It's revenge
Trump wants only to destroy as much as he can.
JD3lv Now do Americans.
Good decision from the federal judge.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why is it that trump always does the most hateful thing, always?
...how's 'bouts the born to be's?
amazing.........
So....are going to arrest windmill owners ? It's a bird graveyard
Now do the same with the epa
Trump is a scandal jockey.
Yet the slaughter of birds, even protected ones, is AOK in order to protect wind turbine generators. Interesting.

Trump is just awful in every quantifiable way
Wow, some good news for once.
suck it realDonaldTrump

Wish we could
Report the peace deal you hacks.
Raptors and Mocking birds deserve our protection.
Thank you 🙏
TRUMP. STOP. NOTHING WAS BROKEN, STOP TRYING TO FIX IT.
I remember trump worrying about windmills killing birds. More evidence of his insanity I suppose.
POTUS are you seriously out to ruin everything? What are birds doing to this country besides looking majestic and living their best life/ also being endangered?
Hooray!

MichaelFairfax1 I used to see red tailed hawks in my neighborhood. Now they’re gone, and I see lots of bunnies. Don’t get me wrong, I think the bunnies are adorable, even though they eat my flowers. But they wouldn’t be around if there were hawks.
I’m laughing at this because during Obama tenure, there was a fake news article that went around President Obama had issued a “kill order” allowing more than 4,000 bald eagles to be slaughtered each year for the next 30 years.
Man, realDonaldTrump is such a dick. Why would he even attempt to do this
So glad that some people love our world!!❤️💯

PaulDereume To kill a mockingbird is hands down one of the best books in literature history.
Trump wanted to make it okay to kill bald eagles....shows you what they really think about America
We are LOSING our wildlife at a frightening speed! Humans are over-running Planet Earth and more animals are becoming extinct as we encroach on their territory with our structures and presence, they have no where to go or live, so they die!
Yet it’s okay to kill millions of unborn babies. 🤷🏼♂️
Yup but it’s not a crime to kill unborn babies
yes it's true. he's a moron.

Donald Trump is all about destruction. That’s all he does. He’s destroying our country, he’s reversing regulations on emissions, mining, even on nationally protected lands, drilling & now animals?! He is so sick!! Good for the judge!! He’s trying to destroy the entire planet!
Have you seen this?
A great judge
Why would the evil gop scale back protection for migratory birds? Never mind...energy companies
NPR celebrates protection of migratory birds and takes a hit at Trump Yes Democrat legislatures have made it legal and literally cheered the ability to kill this I'll vote to protect the human, thanks CultureOfDeath DefundNPR
Trump only cares about birds when they’re killed by windmills. And he never cares about the 160,000+ Americans who have died.
Thanks to reasonable and ethical Federal Judges, independent from the administrative power of government, the American legal system might be one of the best assets Americans have. Not perfect, but no system is. It has kept an egocentric dangerous president in balance.
Very good.
But what about all those windmills?
The white man still doesn’t understand how Mother Nature, this planet and the universe works :( colonizers pillagers rapists
Another loss
'Ive done more for the environment than anyone' - some douchebag
What the bird fatalities due to wind turbines?
That's cool!
Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish he's gotta figure out how to make money to pay the greedy government so they won't charge him with a crime for fishing to not starve and if he catches a small one he's gotta throw it back.
