Wow, a lot of people concerned about birds. I think it's fine to kill birds. However, I do think that if you kill it, you should eat it.

The main issue is whether the hawk is protected as "endangered species" or just as a "migratory bird" as mentioned.

There are a lot of protected migratory birds, like the previously mentioned geese. It's not like there's a shortage of damn geese!
They make a mess of fields, docks and lakes, and they also happen to be good eating.

Come on, let me go down to the field, kill and eat the stupid geese that are ruining it. And for that matter, if someone kills a bird which is not endangered - who cares.

Cleaning a fish, obsolete? What, am I the only one who still eats every (non-undersized) fish he catches?

Waste of time and effort, catching a fish just to throw it back.

How is this gross? This is way better than individually wrapped plastic spoons that I've seen at some fast food joints.
Honestly, why would one-time use plastic spoons need plastic wrappers? In case someone TOUCHED them? Gross!
