GOLDEN EAGLES

Just watched BBC news from the regions. The Golden Eagle is Scotland's "iconic" (their word) bird. It certainly is a magnificent creature and it would be a pity to lose it. But it seems it's not doing all that well. A pity it can't be eaten as a superior version of turkey as then we would have farmed eagle in the same way that we have farmed salmon and farmed lobster. Never mind Scottish National Heritage (SNH) is on the case and they're a bit worried about the eagles. Some smug employee came on screen to tell exactly how worrying it is. Of course if these SNH employees weren't being fed with a bottomless pit of taxpayers' hard-earned cash they might themselves be on the way out and a good thing too. People working all hours in the dark satanic mills of Scotland just so these assholes can go prancing over the hills worrying about a few birds.
