There may soon be a new bird to hunt in Maine and elsewhere – called a “PETA Air Angel” – which is poised to harass and interrupt our hunting rights. Read on… People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have unveiled their “Air Angel,” a quadrapcopter drone meant to ensure hunters adhere to the law. Recently, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said they were acquiring drones, and now that the animal rights group has released their final product, they believe it will aid in raising awareness about the cruelty of hunting, though they may not legally be permitted to use them, Mashable reported.
According to Petacatalog.com, the “Air Angel” drone is a four-motored quadracopter capable of hovering high above the tree line while beaming captured video directly to a cell phone. Its purpose is to use the footage to alert game wardens of hunters engaging in illegal activity such as “drinking while in possession of a firearm, injuring animals and failing to pursue them, and illegally using spotlights, feed lures, and other nasty but common hunting tricks.”
PETA spokeswoman Lindsay Rajt told Mashable that drone users have already used the “Air Angel” to report bow hunters after they violated the rule that states hunting shall not begin until “one-half hour before sunrise.” link to the remaining story – http://www.guns.com/2013/10/28/peta-launches-air-angel-drone-meant-hunt-hunters-video/
