| Man kicks owl while paragliding, outrage ensues Posted: 24 Sep 2013 09:18 PM PDT Man kicks owl while paragliding, outrage ensues Posted on: 9:27 pm, April 8, 2013, by Gene Kennedy, updated on: 09:02pm, April 8, 2013 SALT LAKE CITY — Paragliders and animal lovers are outraged after a YouTube viral video showing a powered paraglider harassing and kicking an owl in mid-air emerged. The pilot chases an owl for 7 minutes, kicking the bird repeatedly and gloating about it. Now, state and federal investigators are taking a closer look at the incident. "It's animal cruelty," said Jeff Goin, President of the US Powered Paragliding Association "It just feels bad and gives the sport a bad name." Although the man in the video's face is not shown, Goin said he believes he knows the man's identity. "We all know with almost certainty that that's Dell Schanze," Goin said. "He has an enormous reputation in this sport of doing things that completely disregard our reputation." The Humane Society of Utah also believes Schanze is the man in the video. Super Dell's face isn't shown in the video, but the former computer store owner who's had numerous run ins with the law is also infamous in the paragliding community. Schanze was arrested in 2011 after posting a video on YouTube that showed him paragliding from a historic monument in Oregon. FOX 13 visited his business in a Sandy industrial center. He didn't answer the door but said over the phone, "What in the world are you talking about? Don't try and blame anything on me, or I'll sue you." Whoever is actually in the video is not alone. There's a co-pilot who asks the pilot if he kicked an owl twice. Since the video went viral, the phones have been ringing at Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources. "The law enforcement guys who looked at the video feel it does appear some wildlife laws have been violated, and it's been sent to the appropriate agency to be further investigated and that's the US Fish and Wildlife Service so that's where the case is right now," said DWR spokesperson Mark Hadley. Since owls are migratory birds, they're protected under federal law. Now,the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will determine if the video warrants prosecution. FOX 13 compared the glider in the video to others Schanze has posted on YouTube and they seem to be the same. The Humane Society wants action. Officials think the pilot should be charged and potentially fined. The U.S. Powered Paragliding Association agrees and hope the pilot never flies again. The USPPA and other paragliders are concerned that this pilot's actions may tarnish the sport and potentially shut down launch sites. |

| Iran releases six Slovak paragliders held for spying Posted: 24 Sep 2013 09:04 PM PDT Iran releases six Slovak paragliders held for spying AFP - Sunday, September 1, 2013   Iran has released six of eight Slovak paragliders held since May for alleged spying, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said Sunday. "Negotiations with Iran were very correct and led to the release of six out of eight Slovak citizens," Fico told journalists. "Two Slovaks are still held in Iran until further allegations are investigated by the Iranian authorities," he said, saying he expected further negotiations to be "extremely complicated." In July, Iran's judiciary said it was probing nine people -- one Iranian and eight Slovaks -- arrested for "illegal activities, including photographing restricted areas" in the central Isfahan province, which is home to nuclear facilities including the Natanz uranium enrichment site. Isfahan is located some 330 kilometres (200 miles) south of the capital Tehran. The international community has imposed a battery of sanctions against Iran, accusing it of using its civilian nuclear energy programme as a cover for developing atomic weapons -- charges Tehran flatly denies. Friends of the paragliders told AFP they were not spies, but were travelling to film documentaries from a bird's-eye view. They said the men were in Iran to collect material for a second film, after making a documentary last year on paragliding over the Himalayas. Senior Iranian prosecutor Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeie asserted the men had smuggled in unspecified "equipment." The paragliders ran into trouble for using two-band walkie talkies reportedly banned in Iran, as well as cameras designed for extreme sports. "As far as we know, it's prohibited to take pictures in Iran while flying lower than 2,300 metres (7,545 feet). We only took pictures from a higher altitude," Vladislav Frigo, one of the released paragliders told journalists. Frigo conceded the group had two-band walkie talkies, which are banned in Iran, but said "we didn't use the prohibited band." According to Frigo, those arrested were held in one big cell with a TV set and a small corner kitchen, separated from other prisoners. "It was bearable, the prison staff and investigators treated us very nicely," Frigo said. |
