OKLAHOMA CITY — An infamous fundraiser that involves shooting pigeons has taken down another flying object.
A drone that was being used to film Senator Inhofe’s pigeon fundraiser was grounded Saturday.
The annual fundraiser earns money for the senator as guests shoot at tame, banded pigeons as they’re thrown into the air.
Showing Animals Respect and Kindness is an animal rights group that secretly filmed the fundraiser for Senator Jim Inhofe last year.
This year, the group said they tried to use a drone to record the event Friday night in Greer County, but they reported the drone was shot down.
A spokesperson for S.H.A.R.K. also said the sheriff refused to investigate the fall of the drone, insisting that shooting a drone is not illegal.

It’s time to build the drone blind in Okla.
Good. Damn tree hugging hippies.
I love that the sheriff said it’s not illegal to shoot down drones.
But I don’t love the fact that people go out and shoot tame birds for fun. That’s just me, I guess.
Nope. No bias there.
“The annual fundraiser earns money for the senator as guests shoot at tame, banded pigeons as they’re thrown into the air.”
Imhofe should be ashamed of this! This isn’t hunting, it’s just killing for $hits and giggles.
No matter what you do to them, you can’t make a drone taste good.
I hope someone eats them.
LOL! I love it. Wonder if any of the shooters had a few rounds of the new “drone ammo” just for the occasion.
What goes on at a chicken processing plant isn’t hunting either. I wouldn’t participate in a pigeon shoot though.
Stupid people obviously camouflaged their drone to look like a pigeon.
Yeah! At least they could have used liberals tossed into the air, the pigeons never did anything but crap all over the place.

Get your Congressman on this. Every State s going to need a law allowing drones over private property to be downed in any manner necessary. Thee things are popping up everywhere.
That's good to know.
And liberals don’t crap all over the place?
I had to chuckle. That’s the reason God made Oklahoma.
I’m with you. Killing tame birds
for fun isn’t something civilized
people do.
It could be like that scene from History of the World part 1 where Mel Brooks playing the king of France shoots peasants like clay pigeons. Just substitute liberals.
