Try this:

'Golden Eagle Snatches Kid' video probably a fake - NYPOST.com

You know what really got me the first time through was the way the guy

videoing it said "expletive" and then the camera kind of dropped to the grass

as he apparently went running to help. That was darn good acting.

Damn, I was fooled. I know eagles will routinely take lambs and dogs. At Point Defiance there was an eagle that took several dogs wandering loose.

I bet this will still inspire some knee jerk reactions and people will be shooting at eagles and hawks so their children won't be carried off by Satan incarnate.

Your probably right Snooze. Sadly.
