It s so tragic to think that some sicko would take aim at a beautiful and innocent animal and actually have it in their heart to pull the trigger of a large-caliber rifle to shoot it dead.

As the bald eagle population in the area and throughout New York has gone way up, so seemingly do the number of inexplicable deaths by cold-hearted humans who have nary a shred of decency.
