State trooper finds a rare blue eagle lying on the side of Interstate 10 near the 800 exit, shot full of arrows and missing its scalp. The only comment from the officer, while unceremoniously throwing the carcass in the trash, was,“That’s the dumbest-looking animal I’ve ever seen in my life, and not just because it’s so ugly. Last week I watched it try to fight a cougar, and it must have made at least six or seven costly mistakes — even the cougar seemed confused by how terribly the eagle fumbled away its chances. Thank goodness someone finally put it out of its misery.”
