Google Funds Drones in Africa

[Type Username Here]

Google-funded drones will fight rhino poachers in Africa. On Tuesday, Google announced the disbursement of a 5 million dollar grant to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to purchase a fleet of drone aircraft in Africa. The WWF already uses trackers in Nepal to protect endangered species.

The $5 million grant is part of Google's Global Impact Award program and will help the WWF acquire an undisclosed number of lightweight “conservation drones,” which are launched by hand and can fly approximately 18 miles. According to Mother Jones' Dana Liebelson, the WWF will use the drones to track African ivory poachers.

Hunters Shoot Animal Rights Drone Out of the Sky

The gun totin' boys at the Broxton Bridge Plantation hunting ground were planning on having themselves a good old fashioned pigeon hunt. South Carolina's unfortunately named S.H.A.R.K. animal rights group planned to expose them via aerial drone. Guess what happened.

The Times and Democrat reports that once the hopeful hunters knew they were going to be watched from above, they started to leave the private shooting plantation. SHARK decided to send up their drone anyway—above a group of cranky firearm-wielding southerners. Big mistake, SHARK. Their drone was quickly shot out of the sky

where in Africa?

why don't they specify?

I bet if it was a positive news story they would be specific, but since it's negative we get the generalized "Africa" in the title

This is just a cover to spray more chemtrails and kill more brown people.

im sure they make drones easy to weaponize...they could probably put a gun or bomb on a 'conservation drone' in half an hour...
