What would happen if bald eagles went extinct?

It would actually be very bad if they went extinct. The bald eagle is a fishing eagle, so it catches the fish then takes it out into the trees or wherever they eat it. Then the leftover bits of fish get fertilized directly into the soil, or decomposers break it down and release nutrients that fertilize the plants. So if bald eagles went extinct the plants would become less fertile which means that the consumers who eat the producers will have to eat more to get their fill, the plants will run out, and any animal that eats those animals will become extinct as well until the whole food chain is out of whack.

  2. That’s bullshit. Bald eagles have so little benefiting factors in wildlife that their entire existence would just mean more fish, more game animals and more game in general. Eagles are basically a burden rather than a benefit.
