Animal activists use drone to spy on hunters - Hunters shoot it down

A remote-controlled aircraft owned by an animal rights group was reportedly shot down near Broxton Bridge Plantation Sunday near Ehrhardt, S.C.
Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop the aircraft from flying.
"It didn't work; what SHARK was doing was perfectly legal," Hindi said in a news release. "Once they knew nothing was going to stop us, the shooting stopped and the cars lined up to leave."
He said the animal rights group decided to send the drone up anyway.
"Seconds after it hit the air, numerous shots rang out," Hindi said in the release. "As an act of revenge for us shutting down the pigeon slaughter, they had shot down our copter."
He claimed the shooters were "in tree cover" and "fled the scene on small motorized vehicles."

as soon as that drone went over private property it was toast. the people responsible for it should be arrested for invasion of privacy, just like any peeping tom that uses a telescope or binoculars.
EDIT: just watched the video again. they showed near the end the damage that was done to the drone. it looks more like ground impact damage from a bad landing than gunfire. (rotor blade ends damaged, no recognizable bullet damage)

I will admit that those pigeon shoots are grisly and that I find them distasteful.
However, I also know what it's like to deal with pigeons roosting in and destroying your barn/home eaves/etc.
With that said, if you fly some sort of aerial toy over an area where there is a bird shoot going on, well, I guess the outcome is rather easy to predit.

Real drones fly way too high for small arms to hit them. Worse, they're high enough to be effectively invisible and inaudible.
For this reason, I think the 2nd Amendment should permit radar directed ZSUs

Those pigeon shoots are pretty pathetic and every time I have seen footage of one the in-bred rejects who get their thrills out of doing it really should be lined up and shot themselves.

I don't have a problem with shooting pigeons,if I had a pigeon and wanted to kill it and eat it you can bring movie cameras if you want to...I'm going to shoot it,clean it and eat it.On the other hand the canned shoots are distasteful to me(perfectly legal in some states)the pigeon shoots are some of the worst they aren't about hunting they are mini-celebrations of killing most of the time the birds are just tossed in the trash afterwards.

I have no problems with hunters or hunting. But, I just can't fathom this being something people enjoy doing...
The organizers trapped thousands of live pigeons from cities and other areas where the birds lived and then trucked them back to Hegins. There, they released them from boxes just yards away from a line of waiting shooters, who maimed and killed the birds as a target shooting exercise

Its fun shooting birds  but mass killing is pretty lame. Thinning numbers is one thing. I always shot sparrows, hawks, crows, raccoons, possums, fox's, squirrels, gophers, every now and then a cat or dog ( they had a habit of getting hit on the free way and thrown into the ditch where my chickens were ) so I'd put em down. 4 or 5 I found after they had bled out already. But I shot things because they spread disease, ate the chicken feed, and killed my chickens, ducks or turkeys. Not that I didnt enjoy the target practice though because I did

I can see population reduction as an exercise in conservation or vermin control, and I can see hunting to eat. I'm no fan of hunting for trophy's but there isn't much I can do about that.
But killing for the sake of killing? Just to see animals die? Or talk about them as though they are inanimate objects? You have issues.

Honestly, they should just gas those masses of pigeons they catch because in the end the population control of the species is the issue, and frankly, ammo is too expensive imo to waste on pigeons like that which will offer considerably less useful practice than shooting up a pile of clay pigeons at the local trap/skeet/sporting clays/5 stand range will give.

It has nothing to do with killing for the sake of killing, or just to see them die. It's to see if you can actually hit a moving target that isn't following a predictable path like skeet does.

I may need to reread the story again but my impression is that the drone was used to invade private property. And not just invade it but also to privately spy on others.

If it was below 500 feet, and it almost had to have been to be hit in the first place, then it was trespassing.
The courts have never specified an exact altitude at which your property rights over the air above you extend to... only leaving it as a generality. The un-codified standard is 500 feet (which can be further altered depending upon your proximity to air or helicopter ports) Essentially everything up to that is yours - and if the remote controlled plane is below that altitude (and it almost certainly was) then it was fair game.
In this case, literally.
