In reply to the discussion: A Trump Gif and the opinion of The American Eagle. [View all]yellowcanine
(35,699 posts)33. How is it that this eagle is used for photo shoots in the first place?
I understand that it is a rehab eagle. But there are strict rules on rehab eagles in terms of exposure to people. This eagle appears to be quite healthy and possibly a candidate for release back into the wild at some point. But not if it is socialized to humans. Even if it is not a candidate for release there are still strict rules on eagle display and use for wildlife conservation educational purposes. Whatever is going on here does not appear to be within the guidelines issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
