Watch | Eagles being trained to catch drones in the Netherlands

Dutch police puzzling over how to remove drones that pose a public safety threat are testing a way to get the job done in one fell swoop: with trained eagles.

The start-up company “Guard from Above” has come to the idea to train and use eagles to intercept unlicensed drones flying into sensitive airspace or above a public event such as a politician's appearance.

A decision by police on whether to move ahead with using the eagles is expected by the end of the year.
