<p>You didn't answer my question, but here's what I'm saying:<p>> If you have to work your way round to "they are not people" for the law to be consistent, consider that it might be a bad law.<p>I disagree that the law (which has been changed, amended and clarified) has been 'consistently obvious', and I still maintain that the conclusion of 'immigrants aren't people' invalidates the law.</p>

<p>The golden eagle is one of the most culturally significant birds worldwide; it's ridiculous to dismiss that.<p>There was nothing unremarkable about the great plains (note the name); they didn't produce the crop yield that you value, sure, but that's not the only possible metric to measure anything against.<p>I think farmers are great; I don't think we should exterminate countless species to save them from one of the extremely-predictable externalities of their jobs.</p>

<p>Eagles are also dealing with other stuff (arguably more significant-- e.g. habitat loss), but that's an irrelevance to this issue.<p>The potential predations of a small number of eagles nationally will make very little difference to the enormous number of sheep kept by a large number of farmers. They can handle the strain, and if it's really somehow too much, there are mitigations short of extinction available to them.</p>

<p>Sympathy doesn't simply mean "understanding"; that's one small aspect of the definition of a more complex word that also denotes emotional reflection.<p>Having weighed the pros and cons, I have come to the conclusion that the correct amount of (emotional) sympathy for the position of "we should kill all the eagles because farmers deserve only endless profits, never (minor) costs" is infinitesimal.</p>
