You idiot humans. Drone may seem fun to fly but please leave these magnificence bird from your pathetic experiment. Either develop shoulder mounted laser or other gun to take drones down. OR why don't you either put law to not fly drone because it could have public safety like bringing passenger plane down or attach small bomb and target to crash into some high rise office to kill intended and innocent and no one knows who did it. or take video of someone's bedroom scene and than post on youtube to damage/destroy someone's private life.
Trying to create a "culture of accountability and responsibility" will absolutely fail — for a million reasons. I therefore agree that we need laws for this, but we also need some means to enforce such laws, and more importantly prevent them from being broken. Using eagles to do our dirty work might not be the best idea in the long run, but at least it's in the right direction since it actively fights illegal drones. If we do nothing, a serious accident/attack will happen very soon. Your idea of a bedroom cam might actually work as a punishment, but unfortunately it will take place only after the drone attack has already happened.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has indicated that it will require certain classes of drones to be registered, hoping to "help build a culture of accountability and responsibility."
Any bad guys who wanted to take out the eagle certainly should be able to. Plus, this technique would probably only work with small plastic drones. An eagle would be no match for a heavy duty professional drone.
Next the feds will probably require a software back door from drone manufacturers to make it possible for them to disable a drone and land it safely.
Not sure you think that, the eagle could be carrying something hard and just stick into a blade and wham, the expensive drone is tipping and gone. Also, just making it un-maneuverable is enough, no need for total immediate destruction. Unless the drone is 100 pounds+, the Eagle should win.
This seems dangerous to the birds. If they can grab the drone at the right spot, then ok. But if they grab it, and it moves so that the props hit the bird, particularly on the leg or feet, then that bird is going to get injured.
Maybe they just put some hook on the bird and just let the bird hook the drone and pull up or down on one side, doubt the drone would have enough power to recover from that.

Sure, but dogs are trained to effectively evaluate threats and attack assailants who may have guns or batons, etc.
I think some animals like the chance of doing something more challenging than chasing a ball or piece of meat on a string. The eagle is sitting tied to its perch just itching for something to give it a rush. And you can tell when a well-trained dog is happy to and not reluctant to do what is asked of it -- even if it can't weigh the exact risks in the same terms as a human. Would you deny dogs and cats the chance to go surfing and stuff like that? Some sure seem to love it.
