Send more drones please. LOL
Maybe they can come to an agreement. if SHARK will provide enough remote controlled drones with high dollar camera equipment for the pigeon shooters to shoot at instead of pigeons, they will let the birds live a little longer!
Didn't this happen once before?
I'll trade a fifty-cent or dollar-per-shot bullet for $4K damage on privacy-invading equipment misused by ignorant activists any day.
One of the thing I hadn't seen mentioned- How did the group retrieve their drone "pieces" on private property. Did they trespass to get it back?? And they are the ones who called the police??
Play stupid Games...
What this highlights is the need for laws to protect citizens from such surveillance, whether it be from police/military or civilians. Is it legal for a private business or individual to fly a remote-controlled aircraft over someone else's private property? Further, is it legal for them to shoot video and/or record audio?
I do understand SHARK's concern with the pigeon shoots. They strike me as pretty low on the ethical hunting scale. However, two wrongs don't make a right, and both groups have exhibited some pretty poor behavior over the years this fight has been going on.
If it were me I would tell everyone going in for the shoot that the drones were double points and could be shot by anyone out of turn. Either that or I would make my own attack drone and take their drone out seconds after liftoff right in front of them, then post the video of their reactions just to see how they like it.
FWIW, I have no issue with pigeon shoots. In my hometown about twice a year the pigeon problem would be so bad downtown a shoot would organized and I literally saw guys with shotguns on the Courthouse roof taking out pigeons left and right, any property owner in town could shoot pigeons and other pests out of fruit trees and gardens with airguns pretty much at will. I dont get how all animals, even pests, are suddenly only to be "hunted" and not killed.
