Who had 54 lambs?

An Idaho farmer has lost 54 of his lambs in a series of bald eagle attacks that began in April, a report said.

Rocky Matthews, who owns a farm near Murtaugh Lake, didn’t know what was killing his lambs until he witnessed one of the eagles attack his flock, he told the Times-News.

Matthews told the newspaper that eagles have nested on his farm for over 20 years, but have never launched attacks on his animals.

“They’ve never crossed paths ’til this year,” Matthews said.

“The damage under the hide is a hundredfold from what you see on the exterior,” he said.

The farmer believes the eagles, who typically prey on fish, resorted to killing his lambs because the lake took longer to warm up this year.

Matthews has opted to move his livestock closer to his barn in the hopes the eagles will stay away.

I've seen Hawks  snatch a pigeon out of mid-air and rip it to shreds within a minute... but I think seeing a 'lil lamb getting ripped to shreds by a fuckin Eagle would upset me.
