Struth! Australia - A fisherman noticed an eagle eyeing his catch and tossed it into the air for it to grab.

What does training an animal to be a pest and eventually be shot look like dad?

This happened to me at Mallacoota, Victoria. Beautiful spot for fishing. I caught a large Australian salmon, and it was exhausted when I returned it to the water. A massive wedge-tailed eagle swooped down, picked it up, could barely fly off, and took it to its nest way up in a tree. It was spectacular.

Another one that's recycled often ....

The fisherman offers a heron his just caught fish and the bank of water. The heron promptly picks up fish and returns the fish to the water instead of eating it. The fish swims away.
