@lysel3 he would have killed it faster if he could. He did not have a good surface to get a better grip. he actually wants to kill it as quickly as possible because while he is doing this he is very exposed, to other hawks or crows (you can see him looking around the whole time). Usually they kil their food very quickly.
if people think it is cruelty, remember, the hawk does not have the physical ability to kill the pigeon instantly- it is killing the pigeon as fast as it can. Hawks are not like cats which torment their prey for amusement. Neither are dogs. when you see canids appearing cruel towards prey- they also are killing the animal as fast as their ability allows. Also, remember, these animals are hungry, and NEED to kill their prey to live. Only cats and humans show true cruelty towards other animals.
@mikethebike7 humans protect these birds of prey. so we certainly can protect its victims. We humans have reach a level of conciousness and rational that we can stop nature from promoting this cruel negative behavior. and if anyone disagres then obviously im wrong about it in you that havent reach that level of development in your socalled brain.
@gceron83 Wow you actuqally think we can go around enforcing morality on BIRDS.
What the hell is wrong with you people. Its nature. Theres 10 million pigeons in the country. Have you ever even observed these birds ? Theyre the cows of the air , obviously only hewre for a food source.
People who are weakheart cowards and cant stomach the fact hawks kill pigeons should just kill themselves and get it over with.
@gceron83 the hawk is just trying to get a meal. He cant go to the supermarket like we can. He would have killed it faster if he could have.animals eat other animals. it's the way it works. There's nothing really we can do about that. thanks for watching.
In response to Lysel... not making an actual reply, since you've said you won't read it... maybe you should do a little research on Cooper's hawks before you post on one of these videos. To my knowledge, that IS how they kill their prey.
I was golfing with my friends and we saw a baby bunny on the course... Al of a sudden a hawk comes pecks it in the neck and flies of with it Looked cool but we all fel t bad
2 minutes and the pigeon is still alive. It will die when the hawk starts tearing it apart and eating it. Anyone who claims humans are cruel when killing our food needs to check out how animals kill other animals. If I had my choice between dying in a slaughterhouse and dying like that pigeon I know which way I would pick.
There's a difference, though. Humans have empathy, intelligence, and the notion of morality. We have the intelligence and the technology to devise faster and less painful ways of killing. Animals do not have this luxury; they just have to do as their bodies and instincts allow and command them.
I had to watch this because I saw a redtailed hawk catch a pigeon the other day right on the street, but some old bleeding heart bum ran into the street and scare the hawk off.
The funny part though was that the pigeon was too injured to fly away and landed right under a bus that took off and crushed it.
@SirianKings I think the true losers are people like yourself who will watch this peaceful animal get tortured this way just before he died by going to look into your channel I see very disturbed person
It isn't 'tight' at all, yes he could rescue the pigeon and only maybe save its live but by rescueing it you are going to starve the hawk of a meal and maybe even it's young. A the lion king said-
'it's the circle of live' and its such a shame that thse two beautiful birds are natural enimies.
i did not record it for entertainment. i recorded it because it was happenning. I love birds. Both the pigeon and the hawk. These animals have to eat. yes, it sucks that they need to kill to eat, but so do we. there´s nothing wrong with showing these images. You can always pretend that it does not hapen and that hawks are vegetarian.
Recorded it cus it was happening.. dats no reason.. we hav a different understanding but i jus cant take any form of cruelty to animals, jus feel tight on the pigeon.. but ye its nature and hawks are on top of the food chain.. but pls nex time dnt put owt liike this on utube... i jus feel for the pigeon! i had em b4 i uni for 5yrs and loved em very much..
This is not cruelty to animals. That would be if I were beating the pigeon for no reason. It's called lunch and carnivores do that. Are you a vegetarian? If not, you should consider your role in animal cruelty. If you consume meat or wear leather, then you don't have much of an argument to make. The hawk is having a meal. That's all there is to it. You dont have to watch the video.
I think it's awesome that you recorded it, if I saw that happening I would take advantage of the opportunity and point my camera that way too. It's not like dude didnt know what he was about to see, it's titled 'hawk killing pigeon' LOL
I've recorded a pair of pigeons who evicted a family of kestrels! The pigeons have taken over the nest box. As of today, we believe the pigeons have one or two eggs in their nest. The story continues--
Hey frosty what you talkin' bout cuz. Iz that ebonics or sumthin? why don't you watch birds of war. Then maybe you'll have a little more respect for the pigeon. I have no problem with nature & the cicle of life. It's about survival but don't be ignorant!
