I would bet more eagles (and birds of prey in general) die from ingesting lead from carcasses left by irresponsible hunters.
The bird is not a bald eagle, it’s a falcon. And it isn’t even in America—the image is from a 2017 Israeli news article. Did anyone review the post at all?
This is another incredibly stupid moment from our president. trib.al/whHTbDB

So … will they kill Steve?
I lean no, putting the double trauma of losing Steve and Eddie would be insanely cruel.

Jeff Amidala, normal guy, reading the newspaper and shaking his head at the relatives.
not just that…..Luke and Leia have *cousins* on Naboo. Padme had sisters and had nieces!
