Dutch police train eagles to attack drones, but here's why it won't happen in the US

This week Dutch police announced that they are ready to use eagles to take down drones. The video footage is awesome -- majestic birds swoop down to snatch up tiny flying robots. Sure, the police already use horses for transportation and dogs for searches, but introducing a new animal assistant in this age of technology is...unexpected. Eventually, the police plan to manage their own flock of drone snatchers, which is why they purchased eagle chicks earlier this year. But until the chicks are ready for action, the police have partnered with Guard From Above, a Dutch company that trains birds of prey to intercept hostile drones.
