I agree that the confessed Eagle killer should be punished but I feel that he hunted out of extreme necessity and that is not a mitigating circumstance. We must be compassionate and allow him to do time for the propagation of that eagle species. At the same time, he will be able to be productive to feed his family. His acceptance of the guilt and not knowing that the bird is endangered bothers his conscience, a part of punishment. Is his crime more serious than the ones committed by some politicians stealing millions?

the man killed the eagle for food.. damn! i blame the government oppositions. they are making our country looks bad that’s why no foreign investors are coming in. no investor no employment, no employment no food. this man should shoot & eat the oppositions one by one until they become extinct….. i wonder what will be their reaction on this.

the bird killer just went on his way to avenge his relatives the monkeys…i was told that the eagle that he killed was a monkey -eating eagle…
but kidding aside, this is a serious problem, these birds are considered endangered, the killer deserved to be punished, yes, he deserved even to be humiliated, ignorance is not an excused, people shoot these poor creatures out of fun, and that was just a lame excuse , so to speak that he killed the bird to eat it…lame excuse, lame killer…
there is no excuse for killing a natural wonder whose lives are hanging on the balance of survival. if you see the killer, he looked liked he had much alcohol in his system to cloud his brain, but then again, he is an idiot….
but if he really did kill the bird for food, hey he should start arming his rifle and kill the source of hunger—-here’s a clue, she is a cheater and also a squater in malacanang…
kill the source, solve the problem….but then again , he will still end up in jail…so the solution is go fishing..
chow!

This is, should we say an overkill reaction… we love nature and its species…
Putting a man to jail by eating eagle or any other birds or any endangered species to feed his family is overkill… is the lives of this eagle is more important than the lives of human being?… is this justifiable? Are the groups or the person who initiated this action has conscience? Did he/she or they able to think deeply the reason why this man killed and eat this eagle?…
But how about if the man who killed and eat this eagle is a government official, or a mayor, a governor or a congressman? who is a trigger happy and is having fun shooting and eating this kind of species, which he believes is an aphrodisiac?…
Did the group or the person who handcuffed and jailed this poor man will do the same thing?… I don’t think so… that’s the reality… you are all correct… justice in this country are rarely for the poor… it’s only applied most of the time to the rich and famous… that’s the reality… whether you accept it or not…

Ibon mang may layang lumipad, hulihin mo at umiiyak, bayan pa kayang sakdal liyag ang di nagnasang makaalpas.
Death to the bird eater and Gloria should resign because people are now eating birds instead of chicken.
