Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Donna on 19-Dec-12, 06:27:43 AM What bothers me is why in the heck did they put music to it? I thought this was not real at first, so I checked Snopes, it wasn't there. They made it seem like a funny joke.

I thought this was not real at first, so I checked Snopes, it wasn't there. They made it seem like a funny joke. They did that cuz the kid wasn't hurt. I'm sure it would have been a whole different story if he had gotten injured. :santawave: Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: valhalla on 19-Dec-12, 06:38:08 AM What bothers me is why in the heck did they put music to it? I thought this was not real at first, so I checked Snopes, it wasn't there. They made it seem like a funny joke. I'm not certain that it is real - although maybe a GE could snatch a 20-pound kid from flight Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 19-Dec-12, 06:38:38 AM They will be persecuted to the edge of extinction after this video goes viral :( That eventually occurred to me too.

Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Donna on 19-Dec-12, 09:58:33 AM I hope it is fake and shame on these people for even thinking about this. Jerks! Thanks Paul, I know it's all over TV too.
Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Kris G. on 19-Dec-12, 09:58:57 AM They will be persecuted to the edge of extinction after this video goes viral :( I'm seeing people sharing it on FB. Not good-will give people more reason to shoot raptors! I hope it gets proved as a fake for the sake of all Eagles! :( Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Kris G. on 19-Dec-12, 10:09:58 AM I hope it is fake and shame on these people for even thinking about this. Jerks! Thanks Paul, I know it's all over TV too. Just saw it on the Weather Channel. Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 19-Dec-12, 10:32:14 AM "Golden Eagle snatch" a hoax! I was taken in for sure... and then began to think, as others here have: This is NOT good news for Birds of Prey, which have a bad enough time with persecution in the first place. So here's the link re the fake. Thanks to Martin for the link - and to sharp-eyed Yvonne (both FB friends) for questioning whether this was a GE in the first place.

The National Audubon Society Many of you may have seen the hoax "Golden Eagle Snatches Kid" video today. While the video is very fake (it was an art project) it does provides an opportunity to talk about birds of prey. (See above link) Title: Re: Golden Eagle snatches child Post by: Bird Crazy on 19-Dec-12, 05:27:29 PM I didn't think it was real. Now I hope all the nitwits with guns find out its fake before they go out and shoot some raptors.
