ANTIGO - Setting off illegal fireworks can put wildlife in the Northwoods at risk. The Raptor Education Group in Antigo took in many animals this past weekend, including a bald eagle hit by a firework.
"The symbol of America shouldn't look [this hurt] the day after the Fourth of July," says Marge Gibson, the executive director of Raptor Education Group.
One of the eagles brought in was somehow poisoned. It now weighs about half of what it should because it can't eat. The staff at REGI is worried the eagle will die because of something a person did.
