Center for Wildlife forced to euthanize bald eagle

01/10/2016

A rescued, seemingly healthy bald eagle was found to be suffering from lead poisoning and was euthanized.   Links to hunting with lead in the environment are believed to be the cause, with reports from The United States Humane Society estimating " as many as 20 million wild animals die from lead poisoning every year."
