SEQUIM, Wash. - A bald eagle shot on December 15 in Beaver, Wash. is still in critical condition in the intensive care ward of a local veterinary hospital.
"We almost lost the eagle today," said Matthew Randazzo, Northwest Raptor & Wildlife Center Public Relations Director. "The eagle suffered a fractured ulna bone in its left wing from a bullet wound from what we believe to be a .22-caliber rifle in the morning of December 15. There's no way to know its long-term prognosis as of yet."
"The person who did this is still at large," says Randazzo. "I wish they could see the suffering this innocent animal is going through. We are determined to bring the sadistic person who did this to justice and encourage everyone to send any tips to us."
Tips leading to the capture of the person who shot the eagle can be sent to Matthew@NWRaptorCenter.com and to Fish & Wildlife at 1-877-933-9847 . Those interested can follow the story at the Raptor & Wildlife Center's Facebook page.
