But that eagle is 1 bird, out of an alleged hundreds. You are right in that dead birds are rarely found - birds that have died from whatever cause. How often do you find a starved eagle? or one under power lines? They get scavenged and disappear, so the absence of bodies is not proof of anything either. My sole point was that the BBC has mis-reported what the report said, by playing up the persecution and playing down the other factors, despite no quantitative information on causes of death at all. And people seem happy to accept that journalistic conclusion, which i think is wrong. That's all.</p></blockquote><p></p>
