[General of Darkness]

What in the fuck would they have done had it not let go? OR if it had let go at 200 feet?

We'd have to ban golden eagles?

If that kid was just a tad lighter or the eagle just a tad stronger/bigger, that kid would
have been history!

[Tumbleweed]

I've seen golden eagles catch and kill fox and coyotes. They will go after antelope too. They are pretty unpopular with sheep men to because they kill a lot of lambs.

If it wasn't for HFCS in this kid's orange juice he would have been easy to lift. Yay HFCS!

[madfranks]

Wow, those eagles always look smaller when they're flying around in the sky, but damn that is one huge bird! Lucky kid too, if it was summer and he wasn't all bundled up in heavy coats and pants, he might have been light enough to be carried away.

Looks like an Osprey to me.........

Good find GoD !

I wonder if any little ones have actually been taken ?

[mamboni]

I've got a few redtailed hawks - not as big as the golden eagle. One was stalking my miniature schnauzer a few years back. The spooked look on my dog's face was priceless - animal instincts are amazing.

Anyway, back to the OP's story:

This can no longer be tolerated! Something must finally be done about wild eagles carrying our precious chubby children off in these unprovoked attacks of avain domestic terrorism. Therefore, I am appointing a taskforce to examine ways to reduce eagle-child attacks. Because of his get-it-done dickstab-your-way-to-success attitude, I'm appointing the General as Chairman of this select taskforce. Together, we will take our skies and children back from these hooknosed winged terrorists!

THAT IS ALL......

[Spectrism]

Listen Mamboni.... don't put up with any partisan politics. We need legislation right now to make eagle snatching illegal.... or a legal eagle law.... or an ill eagle illegal.

Give them clothes with 20 pounds of steel weights in the pockets.

They'll build muscle faster, and be much harder to bird-jack.

[slvrbugjim]

it was fake, MSM says so

CGI.

The viral debate over whether a YouTube video showing an eagle swooping down and picking up a baby was real or fake ended today when a group of students claimed credit for the digital mastery.

Four students in the 3D animation and digital design program at the National Animation and Design Centre, or Centre NAD, in Montreal, created the video, the school said in a blog post on its website today.

The school spoke out after the video went viral, garnering more than 2 million views and 11,000 comments since it was uploaded by the four students on Tuesday.

“When we saw the reach that the video had received and all the questions that it had triggered, it seemed obvious to us that we had to take ownership of it, if only to show how realistic 3-D animation can be,” Claude Arsenault, a public relations manager for the university told ABCNews.com today.

The 59-second clip — in which a baby is snatched up by the eagle in a park and then dropped back to the ground a few feet away, as an adult runs to help — took the four students behind it nearly 400 hours to create. The eagle and the baby were created using 3D animation and then added into the film, Arsenault said.

If 4 college kids can do that then what could/can/has been accomplished by folks with 50 members and an unlimited budget?

To be honest probably in most cases less. But I would imagine that 9/11 was done with your suggested setup...

[osoab]

Fuck that. Even it it is fake, kill all eagles. Eagles are bad. ;D

[JDRock]

We'd have to ban golden eagles?haa the us treasury already did.

[Tumbleweed]

If you've got little kids and you're out where eagles fly keep an eye on the sky.
