Flying Camera From Animal Rights Group Shot Down at Pigeon Shoot
By David Chang Tuesday, Nov 20, 2012 Updated 6:48 AM EST
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.
SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) are in the midst of a campaign against the Wing Pointe commercial hunting grounds in Hamburg, Berks County and its live pigeon shoots in which the birds are shot down. SHARK began to use an “Octocopter,†a remote controlled flying machine with a high tech video camera, to secretly record the pigeon shoots as they happen.
"The pigeon shooters are basically going into hiding," said Steve Hindi, president of SHARK. "So they're using a ring that's up a hill and completely surrounded by trees. So the only way you can get to it is through the air."
The drone, nicknamed “Angel,†was recording a live pigeon shoot on Sunday around 3 p.m. when investigators say it was suddenly struck by gunfire.
SHARK claimed “a single sharp rifle crack rang out,†in a press release sent out on Monday. The group says the camera’s video feed was terminated and the drone went out of control before it was manually brought down. The gunshot caused around $4,000 in damage to the camera, according to SHARK.
State Police are investigating the incident. SHARK claims this is the fourth time the drone has been shot at while trying to spy on what they claim are inhumane pigeon shoots.
"When they do this, it only makes us more determined," said Hindi. "We are going to see these pigeon shoots stopped."
NBC10 is currently trying to contact Wing Pointe for comment and are waiting for a response. NBC10 also spoke with the Berks County's District Attorney. 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.

Nice shooting, men.
Lesson learned: Don't bring a toy helicopter to a gunfight.

Warms the heart, doesn't it, guys?

If this pigeon shoot is on private property and the people involved are taking measures to avoid being viewed by the public, then isn't this animal rights group guilty of being a "peeping tom" ?

Yep, and Mr Hindi would be wise to not call out capable marksmen in such a brazen manner. Manners are always better when one may have to back up his acts with his life. :-)

Yup. Don't know how it is there, but bringing a RIFLE wing shooting is a sure-fire way to draw the ire of the Game Warden/Sheriff's Office.

Considering it was a libtard press release that identified the "crack of a rifle shot", I'm surprised the idiot media did not print "AK-47 on semi auto". It's not like these walking hemorrhages know the difference between a shotgun and rifle.

But given the way the moonbats work these days, you can't eliminate the possibility that the "journalist" knew exactly what they were writing (possibly even told to correct it to by the editor) and had used that exact wording as a means of surreptitiously stirring the pot for the club, can you?

I don't doubt what you are saying, but they literally quoted the moonbat press release in the article.
