Chambers County Crime Stoppers is offering a $1000 reward and the Texas Wildlife Crime Stoppers
Operation Game Thief is also offering a $1000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person
or persons responsible for the shooting of a Bald Eagle in the Anahuac area.
Chambers County Sheriff’s Deputies and State Game Wardens were able to gently capture the protected
National Bird to transport it to medical experts.
Deputy Hector Gonzales transported the Bald Eagle to the Wildlife Center of Texas where he was met
by veterinarian bird experts that are treating and observing the badly injured bird. The experts have
advised that the gunshot wound has blinded the bird and severely damaged its beak. They were not
optimistic that the Bald Eagle would survive this horrible crime against protected wildlife.
If anyone has information, please contact Chambers County Crime Stoppers at 844-860-8477 or
Texas Wildlife Crime Stoppers Operation Game Thief at 800-792-4263.
