Trained hawks employed to keep pigeons from making a mess on visitors in a midtown park have been grounded because one of the birds mistook a Chihuahua as its lunch.

Seems kind of funny in a slapstick way, but I have a friend Charlie who suffered a similar fate while in college. The school he attended had as its mascot the "Golden Eagle". So the school had one. Charlie was in some veterinary program or club or something like that, so once in a while for the football games he got to handle the eagle. Well one time he got sloppy and didn't put his leather glove on and the eagle went to perch on his hand and one of the talons went right through the webbing between his thumb and hand "like a paring knife into jello".
Charlie said it, uh, hurt.
