Ethiopian Town Plagued By Eagle Attacks; One Dead Another Injured

[Sugar Cookie]

A child in Ethiopia has died following a brutal attack at the claws of an rogue eagle, attacking residents in the district of Gaashaamo.

Families in the region have been experiencing regular attacks all believed to have come from one particular bird.

Two other children have been left injured after similar attacks were visited upon them.

It is currently unclear whether the child who died lost his life during the attack or after as a result of his injuries

A mother of one of the injured children, Muno Shuayb, was in her house when she heard her son screaming.

Speaking to the BBC, She said: 'We rushed outside the house. I saw it holding my son on the ground and biting him. He was crying 'mother…mother!'. I ran to him and threw a stick at the bird.'

Muno's actions may have saved her sons life, as the recent attacks have become so savage that police are now actively hunting the bird, having been given a shoot to kill order.

It is unknown why the bird of prey appears to have begun targetting children, however eagles have been known to mistake children for prey in the past.

"Rogue Eagle"? Wasn't that a bad Top Gun knock-off?

Bird must be hard up.
Not much meat on an Ethiopian kid.
It needs to go to Uganda for better eatin'.

Maybe the eagle thinks children would make a tasty Kifto?
The Kifto mention is also a recommendation to @Brillig, @Sejanus @notchback @FrayedKnot and the SIL of @BuffettGirl.
You're all fast-living, raw meat eaters, the lot of you.

I love kitfo! I'm meeting a friend for Ethiopian food this Sunday, perhaps I can talk her into some.

Food is food.

When there isnt much available, you take what you can get.
This is true for humans as well as all living animal species.

I once saw a coyote stand on his hind legs and pull an apple off my tree and eat it.

In case anyone doesn't know just HOW FUCKING BIG eagles are:

I would never eat raw meat not prepared by my own hand.

I do love kifto. Haven’t eaten Ethiopian in years, tho.

I also have an irrational fear of birds. Cos beaks and talons and sharp pokey bits.
