Eagle heads, bear penises, cougar meat part of local wildlife black market http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1360896646
An exclusive KIRO 7 Investigation uncovers stunning proof of animals being killed illegally to sell their parts for profit....
He found bald eagle heads turned into rattles.
Bear gall bladders sold for medicine.
And even an entire cougar delivered right to the back door of a restaurant.
There are criminals in Washington illegally killing animals every day and selling their meat and body parts on the black market. It could threaten entire species....
Undercover detectives say people contacted them wanting to illegally buy and sell everything from bears, cougars, elk and eagles, with no concern about wiping out the animals.
"For them, it's not a living animal, it's a way to make a buck," said Hobbs.
