Drone-v.s.-Animal 2
Eagles have strong talons, great eyesight, and can be trained. These features make eagles a target for a new anti-drone device. The Dutch police want to use eagles to take down rouge drones instead of using bigger drones with nets or radio wave guns. But some people don't think that this is a very good idea.
Some people are questioning weather or not the eagles were obtained legally or not. They say that the birds are illegal to own in America without a permit and not native in Europe, which is were the company Guard from Above (the company that trains eagles in the Netherlands) trains them. Other people think that if they have been training eagles for 25 years, then is it really there best interest to train them for this purpose?
Some people are bringing up a good point that the blades on a drone can hurt animals like eagles. Mythbusters proved that carbon fiber blades on a drone damage animals, so if an eagles were to hit the blade, then bye bye eagle. Once again, I ask, is this a good idea or not?
