Feds propose changes to allow more bald eagle deaths
KUSA - As the nation prepares to celebrate America's birthday, conservationists are in a fight to protect America's symbol, the bald eagle.
"There's an active response to what's going on," Dana Bove said.
Bove serves on the Board of Directors for the Boulder County Audubon Society. In May, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed a change to allow more permits for bald and golden eagle deaths under the current Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
Bove says the driving force behind the change is the expansion of wind energy across the country. He says wind farms have caused the deaths of bald and golden eagles.
"They wind up flying through and drawn into the blades and they're killed," Bove said.
The U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service has been taking public comment and feedback for two months on this proposal. The public comment period ends July 5.
If the proposed change is approved, Bove says the government will allow 2,000 golden eagles and up to 6,000 bald eagles to be killed each year without penalty. Right now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services allows around 1,000 deaths.
