Will they rescue eaglet “Snap” at DNR?

Eaglet Snap continues to appear to be stuck on something in the nest.  The situation is heart-wrenching to watch, and I think that in so many ways being a cam nest really does complicate the decision.  Yes it is nature and wild, and similar things no doubt happen at other nests as part of nature, but it is also one of the rare (of total eagle population) nests with a cam where lots of caring people are watching.    Here’s what’s happening at this point.  MN DNR has put out a statement reiterating their “no interference with nature” policy – basically that they will not rescue.   At the same time, there is a grass roots movement of people contacting DNR, the Wildlife center, the media, everyone they can think of to lobby for rescue.   Facebook chatter Linda Lodge Abelson Andreozzi has been interviewed by ABC news affiliate KSTP who will air a story on the situation at 4:30 and 6:00 MN time.   If you would like to contact the agencies who are involved, or are reporting, here is some contact info that has been posted on Facebook  and on forums by fans of the nest:
