A Dutch Company is training eagles and other birds of prey to attack and bring down drones.
Law enforcement officials say drones could pose threats to public safety, from spying to endangering aircraft. One advantage to using eagles over shooting or jamming the drones is that birds can carry the drones to the ground without making them crash.
The New York Times has a video of these birds in action. Man, birds are great.
