Some people love drones -- others can't wait to take them out of the air.

In the past, soccer players knocked a drone out of the sky by kicking a ball at it, a fisherman reeled in a lurking drone on a pier and even animals are getting in on the action. Last year, a hawk was captured on camera attacking a drone in Massachusetts and before that, a clip of an eagle taking out a drone in Australia went viral.

Well, the animal kingdom isn't done with its war against the drones. A new clip uploaded by YouTuber Patrick Pircher shows two eagles not only attacking a DJI Phantom 3 drone, but taking it right to the ground, probably thinking it was a delicious meal.
