I can see someone considering killing an eagle if it was attacking livestock, but why in the heck would anyone kill a vulture?
They’re harmless and they are the janitors of the avian world... they keep us from having stinky roadkill carcasses and flies everywhere.
For that matter, bald eagles more often than not prefer carrion, too, compared to other birds of prey.
Isn’t the old punchline ‘it tasted somewhere between California Condor and Spotted Owl’ ?
