Jackie the eagle’s caregivers face intense response
Jackie, a bald eagle who became an internet sensation through a nest camera in California's Big Bear Valley, is currently fighting for her life at the Ojai Raptor Center. Her caregivers are facing an intense and sometimes extreme response from the public, including demands for updates and harassment of workers, which could interfere with her treatment.
The intense public reaction and potential interference with care raise questions about the ethics of wildlife-related internet fame and the responsibilities of online communities toward the animals they observe.
