I like that idea. If they're gonna shoot the birds for traditional ceremonies, they should have to do it the traditional way. Bald eagles really aren't in any serious danger any more. They are a national symbol, so I can understand keeping them in a protected status, but I think religious exemptions are definitely necessary here.
