There was a salmon fisherman who was out in the ocean fishing when his boat sank. He was lucky enough to make to a deserted island where he had to survive on what he could find.
When the Coast Guard eventually found him, the leader noticed there was a fire pit with California Condor feathers all around. He told the fisherman, “You know, it’s illegal to kill a California Condor. I’m afraid I’m going to have to arrest you.”
The fisherman protested for some time saying that he killed it because he was going to starve.
The Coast Guard man finally relented. “I’m not supposed to do this, but given the circumstances, I’ll look the other way. It’s not like you are a repeat offender.”
The fisherman thanked him profusely, and they started back towards the mainland.
After a while the Coast Guard leader asked the man, “Just out of curiosity, what did it taste like?”
The fisherman replied, ” Well, it was kind of a mix between a snowy owl and a bald eagle.”
