No. As I said above, we need to allow parents to carry concealed eagles.

Anyway, I blame the Americans. They are jealous of our kid's test scores and are sending their national symbol to get revenge! 

Oh, and as expected, it's a hoax.  ;)

QuoteDavid Bird, a McGill University professor of wildlife biology, had said earlier that he doubted the video's authenticity.

Bird said he has never heard of an eagle grabbing a child.

"The public has nothing to fear from bald eagles in that regard of picking up their babies, and for that matter, even their pets."


Of course he would say that.

It's a hoax. It was made by four students in 3D animation for an assignment yesterday, and their teacher confirmed.

Case closed.

I'm not the only one not following the latest Languish news :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

It's you people from Quebec. Complex stuff - like Languish - confuses you.  :P

I hope they got an A on the assignment.

It would be funny if the prof marked them down for not being realistic enough. :D

Goats weigh more than a toddler, and eagles will attack them, so I just don't think that's true.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Mexico uses the golden eagle, not America. ;)

Here's a real Eagle attack, filmed in Mongolia, so fuck that Eagle apologist.
