Animal activists use drone to spy on hunters - Hunters shoot it down |
A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday near Ehrhardt, S.C.
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."

Hunting is legal. They should stop harassing hunters.

as soon as that drone went over private property it was toast. the people responsible for it should be arrested for invasion of privacy, just like any peeping tom that uses a telescope or binoculars.
EDIT: just watched the video again. they showed near the end the damage that was done to the drone. it looks more like ground impact damage from a bad landing than gunfire. (rotor blade ends damaged, no recognizable bullet damage)
