0-percent politically inspired humour....unless you're active in the wheat lobby.
(Actually, this whole YouTube channel is pretty bananas.)

I don't like musical theater, but I like the cartoon version.

I was thinking that eagle needs a perch hard-fastened and cantilevered off to the side of the saddle. Mongolian wolf hunter's arm needs a rest. Then again, that would just foul his own range, like a ball turret gunner shooting off his own fuselage.

Mongolian wolf hunter is too cool for that.

I think he has a daughter who is carrying on the centuries old tradition, too!

Very cool! But don't be messin' with her, or you'll have a head full of eagle claws!

Cool video. Can't imagine the disfigurement I would have taken as a young lad if any girls I had called upon could direct a bird of prey to their will. Yikes.

Eagle claw anecdote:
While a co-worker was on assignment in Valdez, Alaska; she went out for a job one morning with her hair in a pony tail. After a few minutes she felt something unusual and painful on her head. Reached behind the crown and found blood. Looked up, and an eagle was leaving the target area like a successful dive bomber.

From a bird's eye view, the eagle thought her pony tail bouncing around was a tasty treat critter!

Certainly every time I see a cute girl jogging with a pony tail I come to the same conclusion!
