Why is it that if we kill a couple of bald eagles, they go on the endangered list, but yet we kill cows like it's going outta style and and we're yet to see a depletion on the cow population. What's up with that mang!!?? When was the last time you heard of a cow on the endangered list? It would be like hearing about Prez. Bush winning a Noble Prize in astro physics.

It's because cows are lifestock whereas bald eagles are wild animals. Cows are killed bred in controlled conditions so that there are always some left to reproduce or kill later. We don't control the breeding of all the bald eagles; only a few in reservations. So their reproduction is their own business.

I Cows are bred for a profit, there is no profit in breeding eagles, so they are on their own. As long as ranchers make a profit on cattle they will not become endangered. If you can figure out a way to make a profit on breeding eagles, we will not need to worry about them getting put back on the endangered species list.

You cant be serious. Are you trying to be funny?
First off, the bald eagle got on the Red List due to habitat destruction and pesticides poisoning, not hunting.
Cows are livestock, living animals manufactured for human consumption. There are certain wild cattle that are in trouble. Again from habitat destruction.
You have serious logic flaws. Perhaps you need to lay off the beer.

Well, cows are bred deliberately by farmers etc. for us to use, whether it's eating, or using their skins for various uses. So killing the cows is considered ok (sick, I know) as they are being bred for those uses, whereas bald eagles aren't used for anything as much as cows and aren't breeded for those uses, and killing those animals which are not deliberately breeded for killing will eventually make them endangered.
The world works in weird ways, eh?

Cows breed a lot faster than bald eagles and don't require such a specific type of environment.

Because are bred by people for food, and are domesticated.

we keep breeding and breeding some animals and that is why there is more. it is hard to breed animals that we don't have alot of.
