Is it in Mongolia where the men use eagles to attack and kill wolves in order to protect their livestock?

For the sport of it or for the food?

I don't recall.
Maybe it was for sport. ![]() According to the original article, an eagle killed a bear cub back in 2004, that's crazy.

I meant the original photos - Eagle/deer.

this is why PETA doesn't like eagles and California is considering banning them.

Looks like a risky venture for just the bird's sense of sport.
I'm guessing it's a serious snack. The left overs are going to be a meal, maybe the Eagle will use it as bait and take a few scavenging critters down.

![]() I got a couple eagle/deer .gifs from the net, but can't post due to file size. The first is a take down in a field where the bird grabs it and rolls over. The other is where it picks it up and drops it over a cliff. A search will find these and more on Imgur. |

Golden Eagles are Bad Mothers. Regularly see them intimidate Bald Eagles in their summer range around Lake Granby.

I would't be caught dead holding a big bird like that without some big ass gloves on. Can you imagine what a bite it could take out of you.

while you'd really have to ask the eagle (and it might lie), it was likely for food as there is considerable risk to a bird in attacking such a large animal, even a young one
as to the leftovers: most will go to foxes, coyote, and ravens |

I was playing on:
. Official 2013 Hunting Season Thread . wherein some expressed concern about killing for sport, etc. Obviously, that Eagle is a serious hunter of food...a killing beast! . I wonder how long it takes for that deer to be rendered helpless.
