Guest Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Despicable what some companies will do to save some money. http://news.yahoo.co...-155450010.html A drone pilot hobbyist in Dallas stumbled across a river of blood coming from a large meatpacking plant. The small drone plane had a camera equipped, which captured images of the red river, suspected of being made of pig blood from the plant "I was looking at images after the flight that showed a blood red creek and was thinking, could this really be what I think it is? Can you really do that, surely not?" the pilot tells sUAS News. "Whatever it is, it was flat out gross. Then comes the question of who do I report this to that can find out what it is and where it is coming from." The pilot, who has asked to remain anonymous, was put in touch with the Texas Environmental Crimes Task Force, who began monitoring the plant for violations. "Any time there is some type of discharge into the Trinity River… especially from an environmental standpoint, this is a real concern," Health and Human Services chief Zach Thompson told sUAS News. "I think they discovered a secondary pipe again is my understanding, so the question is who installed the pipe and why was it there." The drone hobbyist says he captured the footage from the plant using only a point and shoot camera and a $75 airframe.

Addicted to Creeks Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 thats absolutely disgusting, seriously Fish always lose by being "got in and dressed." It is best to weigh them while they are in the water. The only really large one I ever caught got away with my leader when I first struck him. He weighed ten pounds. —Charles Dudley Warner

stlfisher Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Drone Hobbyist...that is scary. Think those Bennett Spring and Crane Creek spy cam's are bad? Just wait until a drone flies by your window while you are funnin' with the ladies or buzzes you on the stream. Then again maybe the MDC could use them to track down poachers. They wouldn't even have to get out their car...should be right up their alley.
