> Read the case, They were guilty of basically not getting a permit.
ESI pleaded guilty to three counts of violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, (because their facilities killed, at least, 150 endangered eagles). The court sentenced ESI to a fine of $1,861,600, restitution in the amount of $6,210,991, and a five-year period of probation
So yep, basically, a little tiny, 8 millions worth, paperwork problem.
> Meanwhile there are no permits for killing eagles with rat poison
Wow, that is super-unfair!. If you think that the US government should grant permits to people craving to kill endangered eagles with rat poison, write your local governor about your concern. This must be a traditional local sport somewhere.
> The fallacy is saying this is a concern
Is a concern

(read this with the music of Dragostea Din Tei in your mind)
Is still a concern

Paperwork problems can be very costly my friend, welcome to life > Is a concern So you agree with me, since as I wrote it is a concern. A low one. If you want to measure it against other concerns, the avid bird lover that you are, we are all waiting for your numbers;) And bald eagles specifically least concern by US law
- pvaldes 2y ago> Paperwork problems can be very costly my friend, welcome to life They should say that to the investors: "Our repeated incompetence only cost the company, huh, 35 millions [1], but all is fine and... look, a squirrel!". "Of course that will be fixed with the 007 permit to kill unlimited eagles at the magical price of $29,623 of your money for each bald or golden eagle killed... wow, that squirrel over there has a super cute unibrow!. Looks exactly like Walter, from contability, when is biting his nails" [1] 8 millions fine, plus investment of 27 millions required to pass the probatory period.
