They'll kill and eat your small pets.
How small? My cat weighs 12 pounds.
Just a snack for an eagle.
Nonsense, they can only gain lift if carrying a critter the size of a rabbit or squirrel. They could probably talon a cat to death if the cat doesn't freak the fuck out (which it will), but will never be able to fly off with it.
Who said anything about flying off with it? They kill with a bite to the neck, and they can eat their fill right where the kill is made if they're not disturbed. They don't kill prey with their talons.
Nice. Resort to personal attacks because you don't like the truth.
Bald and golden eagles are large and powerful enough to prey on cats and small dogs if they want to, and have been known to do so on occasion.
Most eagles probably won't come close enough to human habitations to prey on pets, but if your pet wanders too far and there's a large eagle that's not scared of humans like the one in the pictures above, all bets are off.
Brilliant! 👏
