Drone Wars

The Dutch take it up a notch -- Dutch police are training eagles to take out drones | The Verge

The country's law enforcement has teamed up with a raptor training company named Guard From Above to see if birds of prey can be used to safely intercept quadcopters.

The story links to this amusing video of animals versus drones. Spoiler alert -- don't bet against the animals.

Drones are hard to eat, though.

Thanks for sharing, Steve. Sort of worried about injury to the 'real' birds and pretty sure animal rights groups here in the US would put up a big stink regardless. Putting a drone in position for an animal on the ground to attack and reach it is stupid in my book. I see no point in the heckling. In fact this could likely be the next law on the books, now that we are registering them.
