I be a little pissed off too if someone nearly blinded me. I don't blame him, whoever shot him should be shot.......see if they like it. Good post Randy.

Oh, the poor baby. It's probably better that he grew up with the disability so he had time to adjust, but it is really too bad that someone would shoot him at all. I hope they are rotting in jail right now!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Randy, I'm gonna ask you to hand over the Browning for ballistics testing...

All kidding aside, there's an eagle here in the Queens Zoo that was also permanently maimed..by an arrow if I'm not mistaken. Sucks to see such magestic birds in such a sorry condition.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
