AlistairB Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Not convinced i've got this in the right section, but anyway, here's a really good article with lovely photography about mongolians hunting with golden eagles, i particularly like the last photo, she seems so at home with the bird, and it with her.

Oddman Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Saw this myself and posted the link elsewhere - stunning photography Interesting how the BBC regards hunting as OK when practised by 'traditional' people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyD Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 If you hunt foxes on horse back using dogs, your a monster. If a Mongolian hunts foxes on horse back using an eagle taken from a wild nest, then they should be respected and honoured for keeping their traditions alive. If a Mongolian girl hunts on horse back with an eagle they should be respected and honoured for keeping their traditions alive and revered as a global symbol of female empowerment.
