19 Bald Eagles died

Last Friday, one of the local canneries left a truck of fish guts outside and not closed up properly.   Many, many bald eagles swarmed in and gorged themselves on the fish guts.  Many of them got so covered in the oily slime that they could not fly out and got crushed in the guts. Some of the eagles froze because they couldn't get out and warm up. Once people realized what happened, they dumped the contents of the truck on the floor and gathered the flightless bald eagles.  The National Parks and Wildlife took them to a warehouse where they cleaned them and warmed them up.  Now some are being transported to Anchorage to get further care.  As of this morning, the number of eagles that ha died had reached 19.  Parks and Wildlife are investigating how this could happen.
