Dutch police train eagles to take down "drones"

I would really hate to see an eagle cut up by a carbon fiber prop. Unless you know there is a specific impending danger I wouldn't risk an eagle.

Love the way the eagle dragged the drone into a corner, presumably for lunch!

Had a hawk attack a sailplane years ago. Plane did not fly well without a rudder and half of the stab.
