Protester's remote chopper hit at pigeon shoot

HAMBURG, Pa. (AP) — Police say a protester's remote control helicopter was damaged by gunfire at a Pennsylvania pigeon shoot. State police say someone shot the helicopter protesters were using Sunday to record the pigeon shoot at Wing Pointe Gun Club in rural Berks County, about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Investigators estimate the cost of the damage at $4,000. Animal rights advocates say live bird shoots like the one staged Sunday amount to animal cruelty.

Thanks for the Vid.

I know Hindi from the Hegins shoots & Trust me,
he isn't above manufacturing a story. wouldn't surprise me if they use the same drone
that was shot else where & claim it was done that day.
there is video somewhere where his followers run into the side of cars, that report hit & runs
to police.

What a bunch of morons, they drive past needy families with hungry children, to go play with their $ 4,000 toy and protest a legal sport.

The protester kept saying " what we are doing is perfectly legal", well so are the pigeon shooters.

He also said PA is the last state to allow this, that has to be a lie. I'm involved with put and take Pheasant & Quail hunts, basically the same thing, birds are raised to shoot, and it happens in dozens of states.

Hell.

Pigeon shoots are passe.

A thing of the past.

They should start a campaign slogan like. "Help keep the city clean...Eat A Pigeon"

 

[Jason in Enid]

You're right. The cities with the most hunger problems also have the most pigeons. Start feeding the pigeons to the hungry and you solve two problems!

And no complaining that it would be unethical or anything. It used to be considered cruel to feed lobster to your servants more than twice a week!

Didn't that operator know you can't fly a chopper through a war zone, it's bound to take some incoming shots

 

[jeff of pa]

OH I'm sure they were making sure they were seen and heard
& trying to Be a nuisance distraction also. recording the hunt was secondary.

it's like being buzzed by a pesty mosquito.
At some point you just have to Swat it

 

[jeff of pa]

Wasn't the first
