Here's a good deer season story. I didn't realize the lead in traditional ammo is killing eagles and other predators until I met this Michigan Tech Public Safety Officer who rehabilitates raptors in her "spare" time. www.mtu.edu/stories/2022...
MTU Police Sergeant Helps Huskies and Rescues Raptors
When she’s not keeping an eagle eye on Husky Nation, MTU Public Safety Patrol Sergeant Beth Maatta watches over birds of prey as the only certified raptor rehabilitator in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
