[i]Catch an animal?[/i] Kyle thought.  [i]What animal represents freedom?[/i]  Then it dawned on him, an eagle.  Sure, it could just be because it was the symbol of America, AKA, "the land of the free.", but the just seemed so free to him, not having to care about the rest of the world's problems while they soared through the skies.  Yes, they would make the perfect animal.  Unfortunately, in the US Eagles, at least bald Eagles, are an endangered species which meant that there were strict rules about owning them.  Getting the proper permits would take to long.  He'd have to just befriend one and have it follow him long enough to pass the test, then let it go free.  At least that way, he wouldn't risk hurting it or its species survival chances.

Checking the internet on his phone, he found that they were actually on the border of their breeding areas.  Seeing that they liked to breed and live around large lakes he got in his car and set his GPS to look for the nearest one.  Luckily, they were within a few miles, so he cracked the car and headed there, stopping just to pick up some fresh fish at a store near the lake.
