Quote: A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday. Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop the aircraft from flying. "It didn't work; what SHARK was doing was perfectly legal," Hindi said in a news release. "Once they knew nothing was going to stop us, the shooting stopped and the cars lined up to leave." He said the animal rights group decided to send the drone up anyway. "Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out," Hindi said in the release. "As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter." He claimed the shooters were "in tree cover" and "fled the scene on small motorized vehicles.

If SHARK would like to send in their drones, that's fine. The hunters can use the feed to document bragging rights on YouTube. Drones are invasive species. That population should be decimated. 2012-02-17 21:17:22 Permalink

It looks like they just let a pigeon that has been weakened and dehydrated out of a box, where the pigeon just kind of stands there. The contestant then shoots it with a shotgun (I could not tell from what distance). 2012-02-17 21:46:08 Permalink

Even the govtz. ---------- William Wallace enters history when he assassinated William de Heselrig, the English High Sheriff of Lanark, in May 1297. Over 300 million guns and over 1 trillion rounds of ammo, 535 pricks are pushing the buttons of 300 million or more free gun owning people. --I don't like the odds for those pricks. 2012-02-18 16:01:10 From PDA Permalink
