The Easter Bunny and the Eagle Shredders
Gone today… but hare tomorrow to draw eagles away from wind turbines - Scotsman.com News
THEY were once a common sight on the west Highland estate of Beinn an Tuirc, but as the landscape has changed over the past 40 years, there is now a greater chance of spotting a mountain hare at a tea party than on the moorland.Now, a project by an energy company aims to establish a thriving community of the creatures by next Easter.
ScottishPower Renewables is offering £30 to rangers for every hare they hand over. The animals will be reintroduced to draw a pair of golden eagles, which feed on the hares, away from the wind turbines.
When the wind farm was proposed, conservation groups and local planners insisted on a habitat mitigation plan to keep the eagles away from the turbines.
The Pagan origins of the Easter Bunny
In second century Europe, the predominate spring festival was a raucous Saxon fertility celebration in honor of the Saxon Goddess Eastre (Ostara), whose sacred animal was a hare.
Now of course our sacred animal is the Green Goddess whose symbol is the wind turbine....look I'm not making this up, my imagination isn't that good.
