Unintended consequences-----Native Americans Protest Eagle Deaths at Wind Farms

Native Americans Protest Eagle Deaths at Wind Farms | Heartlander Magazine:
"In the face of continued raptor deaths and the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts to encourage new industrial wind farm developments, American Indian tribes are becoming increasingly vocal opponents of new wind farms.
No Meaningful Consultation
From the Osage Nation of northern Oklahoma to the Hopis and more than a dozen other tribes in Arizona, American Indians are urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to abandon plans to permit wind farms to kill bald and golden eagles, which many tribes regard as culturally and spiritually important."
