Air wars have erupted again in the skies over Berks County.
An animal welfare group trying to call attention to pigeon shoots says its camera-equipped drone that was flying over Wing Pointe hunt club Sunday where hunters were shooting captive live pigeons was shot down.
Now the group, Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) has released footage of the drone being shot and the damage as well as men chasing injured pigeons with nets and collecting trash bags full of dead pigeons.
It was the second time a drone owned by SHARK was shot down. The first piece of equipment was brought down on the Wing Pointe property and never returned. SHARK sued the club to get its equipment back and that case is still in court.
