That's right! Nobody in their right mind would hunt a Condor in the first place. For one thing, not enough meat to feed even one person. So all this BS about your precious Condors feeding on my lead bullets, well, get 'em out of Arizona then! Jeez, don't you have better things to do, like taxing wildlife in general? How come those Condors aren't paying their fair share of cross-border taxes?! Here’s an idea: get your California Condors out of my state! That’s right!
