Surrey, B.C. - Another eight bald eagles have been found slaughtered in North
Vancouver.

This bring the number of birds found dead in recent weeks to at least 50.

It's believed that feathers and talons from the birds are being sold on the
black market.
Conservation officers found the remains of the latest birds in an advanced state
of decomposition five kilometres west of where some of the other birds were
found.


A reward of $10,000 is being offered in the case, with the money coming from the
provincial government, the District of North Vancouver, the Tsleil-Waututh First
Nation and the Humane Society.

The B.C. Conservation Service has also set up a task force of officers to
investigate and has asked for help from the RCMP.
