The fabric is not light weight and it went through several needles in my sewing machine - but is still don't trust it. If the hawk could have gotten ANY little grip on her she would not be here. That little grip is my fear because if he had gotten airborn he could have dropped her and that would have been deadly as well.
This, however, looks much lighter than my creation and I may get one just to compare. Bottom line- unfortunately she no longer gets to go out and play in her suburban yard without me and my rake-of-death!
IMPORTANT REMINDER if you ever have an encounter with a hawk and the hawk gets killed, bury it to China with as few witnesses as possible and keep your mouth shut. The fine is $10,000 to $12,000 with some jail time added, and the legal fees to fight it can be (in my case) around $5000 - you are dealing with federal court. |
I swear your experience still makes me cringe! I have shared it with friends and family, it still pisses me off we can't protect our babies because they are "protected" by our government and I am just going to stop there because that in itself pisses me off....thank God your outcome was good!
