An animal rights group’s attempted coup against a pigeon hunt ended with a bang last weekend. Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) flew a remote-control camera over a live pigeon shoot at the Wing Pointe Gun Club in Berks County, Pa. on Sunday, WFMZ reported, and SHARK says one of the rifleman blew the camera to pieces. “Shooting a drone is an extremely dangerous act,” SHARK president Steve Hindi states in a press release. “What we were doing is completely legal. Someone at Wing Pointe is obviously so scared of our evidence that they are desperate to stop it.” State police have been brought in to investigate the destruction of the drone, which SHARK claims was worth at least $4,000. “We want to try and find out if the device was shot, who shot it. If we can find that out,” Trooper David Beohm told WFMZ. “But then, on the flip side, we want to find out were they allowed to operate this device without a permit or even over the property.”
