Flying Camera From Animal Rights Group Shot Down at Pigeon Shoot

Police are investigating an incident at a Berks County hunting club in which someone on the hunting grounds allegedly targeted a mechanical flying object rather than a living and breathing one.

[Larry R. Johnson]

This is hysterical! The FAA would not approve. Good shot nevertheless.

if it flies it dies

[Erik Latranyi]

If the property is private, they have no right to fly a drone over it.

What is the difference between this and spying on nude sunbathers with a drone?

It is invasion of privacy.....but liberals have no respect for privacy unless it can be used to further their pet causes.

[jessduntno]

‘if it flies it dies”

They probably camoflaged it as a bird...

[Erik Latranyi]

I hope the hunting club members take the shoot and shut-up route. If nobody talks, the investigation is stalled.

It is time to stick together folks!

SHARK claimed “a single sharp rifle crack rang out,”

I'm impressed if it was taken out with a single rifle shot. Usually you use a shotgun to take out a flying pest like this.

[Sir Napsalot]

Bwahahahaaaa......

More ‘animal right drones’, please. Make for more novelty/veriety targets.

[GeronL]

exactly

[Cicero]

Probably one of the hunters thought it was a pigeon.

Or, more seriously, they shot it down because it was disturbing the pigeons and spoiling their shoot.

[dangus]

>> He told us the pigeon shoots are legal and that he also wants to find a way to put a stop to what he considers a “potentially deadly cat and mouse game” between SHARK and Wing Pointe. <<

I’m pretty sure that spy drones are not legal for “civilian use.” Try prosecuting SHARK.

[MARTIAL MONK]

It’s a No Fly Zone.

[elkfersupper]

The wrong thing was shot.

[DoughtyOne]

Hmmm... scratching head...

I’m having a hard time trying to figure out why this is news.

Seems very logical to me.

Pull! (LMAO)

[West Texas Chuck]

I’m wit chu.

One of them boys probably standing there with a goose gun telling his buds “I’ve been waiting for this all day.”

Wonder if he used lead-free shot ;)

[Sir Napsalot]

Which reminds me of another story of someone shot a woman (thankfully no injury) because her harido was showing over the fence and the shooter thought it furry or something.

[Doogle]

Krauthammer will be pleased...*smiles*

[Robe]

This happened last year,I believe, at Broxtons Bridge SC at hunting club there.
Same results however

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Can’t be helped if the damned thing flies into the line of fire.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Must have been a meteor that took it out.
