Thanks for the information! As a victim of this horrific occurrence, I have for YEARS, tried to come up with some kind of a garment or ANYTHING I could use to put on my babies/cover my babies/etc, to protect them from attack from birds of prey or prey animals. The garments I have devised, could only be a form of avoidance.....if the predator did not see the dog as a meal, it did not swoope down and attack. This approach has been reasonably successful, however nothing I would be willing to put 100% of my trust in. My object was to make the pet unrecognizable as a meal, rather than offering any kind of attack protection by using some kind of material or shield that prevented my dog from getting actually eaten. I will be very interested to see how effective this product actually is.....with our small dogs, if this thing will keep the bird from being able to actually grasp the pet in its feet/claws, that is part of the equation solved......I am cautiously encouraged, but I can see where this would not provide a level of confidence needed to allow ME to let my babies run around the yard off leash/unattended in my yard! |
