Beauty The Bald Eagle Is Back In Action

June 9, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K

Three years ago, Beauty the bald eagle was found starving to death after some poachers shot her upper beak off. An engineer from Boise, Idaho designed a new beak for Beauty to help her to eat food. The engineer is working on building a better and permanent beak.

Jane Fink Cantwell (hot name) who found Beauty told The Sun, “A bullet had to be removed from her curved upper beak, leaving her tongue and sinuses exposed, with a stump useless for grasping food. Eating with her beak was like using one chopstick. She also had trouble drinking and couldn’t preen her feathers.”

Beauty will never be released back into the wild because even with her new beak, she will never be able to tear flesh.

They need to send Beauty to the same place Jamie Somers got her bionic powers from. This way Beauty can use her new bionic beak to find her attackers and slowly torture them. Better yet, they should invent a new beak that can translate her squawk into English. That way Beauty can reveal to us the identity of her attackers. I can already hear her saying, “Dick Cheney.”
