A 24-year old farmer accidentally shot "Matatag" and brought it to the center after realizing it was an eagle.
DAVAO CITY – Matatag, the rehabilitated Philippine eagle that was released to the wild last year, was shot and wounded by a farmer in a hinterland village in Baguio District here Sunday morning.
The adult male eagle (Pitecophaga jefferyi) was released in Mt. Apo in 2015. It moved 13 kilometers north from his release area to the territorial borders of the Obu Manuvu community in Barangay Carmen, Baguio District here.
On Sunday morning, however, a farmer brought the wounded eagle to the Philippine Eagle Center (PEC) in Malagos, admitting that he shot it with his .22 caliber rifle.
