A father and his adult son have pleaded guilty in South Dakota to federal charges in a case that offered a glimpse into the illegal trafficking of eagles and other protected birds.
Troy Fairbanks and his son, Majestic Fairbanks, were among 30 people and pawn shops indicted in 2017 as part of a two-year investigation into the black market trade of eagle carcasses, parts and feathers.
Prosecutors say they found more than 100 eagle carcasses or parts in the Fairbanks’ Rapid City home.
Investigators say they purchased protected bird parts from suspects in South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska and Iowa.
The Fairbanks entered their pleas Friday.

He should get an extra fine just for naming his son "Majestic" I think Majestic is an angry man judging by his face book pictures. https://www.facebook.com/majestic.fairbanks.1/photos?lst=1746175302%3A100009277904006%3A1576097136

Another case of greed. And the beat goes on, wonder if they would poach a bear if they thought they could sell parts of it for a c note? Rhetorical Question.

https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/l...b548b6b-1daf-5723-97f4-203e81856658.html"The Fairbanks are enrolled members of the Standing Rock and Lower Brule Sioux tribes and were involved with Buffalo Dreamers, Troy's dance group, according to Journal archives. But they were also involved in the illegal eagle trade from July 17, 2014 to Feb. 11, 2016, according to the factual basis documents they signed." If they are members of a tribe can't they have eagle parts and pieces? I guess I don't see the fascination with eagle feathers or claws. Its a bird and they all have feathers and claws.

Minnesota is considering opening a season on eagles, common as crows here. They are thinking about opening the season on wolves too. But both are Federally protected.

Never heard of any Fairbanks from the Lower Brule area but that's not saying it's not true just never heard the name. Often a last name will come primaly for a specific Reservation.

Don't take this story at face value in the past problems have been created and encouraged to have people swoop in and look like the hero's for stopping a issue they started. It's easy to go to depressed areas of the country wave money around encouraging bad behavior then call it a case. Seen it first hand.
