I don't think the 50 hawks bred in your backyard can be prosecuted?
- jstarfish 3y agoTraining a bald eagle to take them down would certainly cause some chaos.
- lacrimacida 3y agoI havent thought of that and it’s quite ingenious and hard to prove legally who’s behind it.
- Nifty3929 3y agoThey don’t need to prove anything. They will know it’s the local hawk guy. That person will then sped all his or her money on lawyers, and then spend a long time in jail.
- lacrimacida 3y agoWith this technology flourishing I wouldn’t be surprised seeing more and more hawks as ‘pets’ though. Don’t underestimate the reaction to any abusive tech, the achilles heel may be even easier than that to strike

- tzs 3y agoThere's probably no legal way to do that in the US. Bald eagles (and Golden eagles) have special protection under Federal law which essentially makes having anything to do with them a felony unless you are a zoo or are a Native American using the eagle for religious purposes, and even then you need to get a permit.
- jstarfish 3y agoThat was the point I was getting at. Since eagles are untouchable, if they somehow learned to take down drones, nobody can do anything about it ;) (I'm not actually advocating anybody do this.)
