I'll accept apologies in the form of alcohol and money.

If eagles were swooping around the place picking up children and dogs on a daily basis, we'd just kill them all. That's the kind of shitty species we are. Hell, we'd just kill them all anyway because we're a nasty, stupid, virus on the planet. Remove humans and this place would be great.

Would certainly be a lot better.

[i]experts had called into question the veracity of the video, raising doubts about the computer animation techniques and the behaviour and appearance of the golden eagle[/i]

Even the Guardian uses STW for reference I see.

How the heck did anyone even think this is real for a second? Is everyone nuts or what?

I thought it was. The CGI is convincing enough if you're not looking closely, and since eagles are known to take small animals it doesn't seem too much of a stretch that one could have a go at a baby if it saw the opportunity.

Likewise with MrSalmon. I was initially fooled.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility.

I remember watching a massive bird, some kind of eagle or kite I assume, trying to take off with a dead kangaroo in the middle of the outback. Impressive to see!
