Now that you have . . .

Fine him $500 -- make it $1,000 if Orange County needs the money -- and tell him not to do it again.

That should adequately serve the public interest.

The HORROR!!!!!!!!!

those people aren't going to eat that bird . . .

I Must Say You Were Close

You Said No Fowl......no Harm

I Might Think

No Fowl...."lots Of Harm"

When I first read about Tripp apologizing for killing the bird, it sounded like he only made one shot attempt...in the general direction of the tree. Now it appears he continually hit towards the bird, even from just 75 yards away.

This result was NO accident. He may not have intended to kill the bird, but killing it was no accident.

BTW,
what do you think the probability is for hitting a bird from 75 yards away.
I would think it's a good chance that if two decent golfers continually teed up driver shots from that distance, the bird wouldn't last more than a couple of minutes.

Now, you either believe Tripp, or you do not:

“As soon as this happened, I was mortified and extremely upset and continue to be upset. I want to let everyone know there was neither any malice nor deliberate intent whatsoever to hit or harm the hawk. I was trying simply to scare it into flying away.”

Accident or not, the bird is dead, and Tripp is facing criminal misdemeanor charges. The court will determine his guilt or innocence and any penalties to be paid. For now, Grand Cypress Resort (where his crew was filming) has delivered its own verdict and revoked his practice privileges.

If they were really smart . . . they'd ban the freakin' birds . . . they are a pain . . . dookeyin' all over the greens and stuff. Let 'em hang out on a tennis court or over at Daryl's house or something.
