Starving Man

One beautiful autumn day, a Park Ranger discovered a man sitting in the woods chewing away on a dead Bald Eagle.
“Hey mister, the Bald Eagle is a protected species, and killing one is punishable offence”, said the Park Ranger.

The man was swiftly arrested, and ushered before the judge.
In court, he pleaded innocent to the charges against him, claiming that if he didn’t eat the bald eagle he would have died from starvation.

“I was so hungry,” complained the defensive camper, “the Bald Eagle was the only food I could find!”

To everyone’s amazement, the judge ruled in his favour.
In the judge’s closing statement he said to the man, “I would like you to ask you something before I let you go. I have never eaten a bald eagle, nor ever plan on it.
But I’d like to know: What did it taste like?”

The man answered, “Well, it tasted like a cross between a Whooping Crane and a Spotted Owl.”
