If you don't understand the reference you haven't read the book. As for the wrong forum, as much as I like shooting animals for dinner there are other aspects to hunting other than killing. Sure, eagles can be scavengers but I have seen them kill things too-the male at one of the nests I watch killed a cat-made my day to hear that happened. You could call me a scavenger as well-I've put several roadkilled deer in my freezer.
