20 Bald Eagles Killed

At least 20 bald eagles were killed in a truckload of fish guts.

About 50 eagles descended on the uncovered truck Friday when it left a garage at the Ocean Beauty Seafoods plant, the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News reported Saturday.

Gorging themselves, the birds pushed each other into the heavy, thick, goo and were drowned, buried and crushed, said federal wildlife officials.

The incident took only minutes and factory officials moved the truck back inside once they saw what was happening, the Daily News reported.
