In videos like this it seems rare for the person filming to get involved even if they could help. They may move closer for a better angle or run away if they seem threatened.
The guys who did this video are very much francophone. They were interviewed this morning on the radio. It was a school project and they would get an A+ if they got to 100,000 hits… can you get a higher grade than A+?
That was a stupid hoax. Now 20 million people (yes, over 18 million youtube views) are going to believe eagles will snatch babies. It took more than 50 years in Alpine countries for this belief to be discarded.
Who in their right mind will hire an eagle, now, after this?
Such a shame.
The Eagles appear to have no comment on it.
I posted a version of this on Facebook…now everybody thinks I’m funny.
