Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Wed Jun 13 07:57:21 2012, in response to Re: Downtown (A) train rodent scratches a female straphanger @ 59 St, posted by MainR3664 on Wed Jun 13 07:46:51 2012. Just a few months ago, in Manhattan, there were two cases where red tailed hawks attempted to fly off with a Maltese and one instance a 10 lb domestic shorthair cat. The only reason why it didn't have them for meals was, in the first case, the dog was a little heavy for the bird to keep a hold of while flying, and it dropped the dog if I recall in Central Park, and the second one, the cat wriggled out of the hawk's hold and fell down to the street about a couple blocks away, but survived relatively unscathed. Hawks, eagles and other birds of prey will indeed try to tackle small dogs, even puppies and kittens.And I can tell you, after watching a red tail pick off a pigeon right in front of me in a park next to my home, and sit there and start literally picking the feathers off and eating the pigeon alive right in front of me (I actually walked up to it, sat at a bench literally about 2 feet away, it was right at my feet basically). And guess what, that hawk didn't even seem remotely threatened by me or nervous. It just ate that pigeon right up, and carried away the rest of the carcass. It would have no bones, depending on how hungry it is (and no puns intended), to pick off a small animal right when it is attended by a person if it is hungry enough and on the hunt. |
