That should adequately serve the public interest.

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.

He was trying to scare the bird away, plain and simple, not kill it. The bird didn't scare away after one shot, so he continued to hit.
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.

I don't want any more birds around my house. There are enough Geese on the Golf Courses. They're not endangered, but they are when I get on the Tee Box.
