Quite an amazing video of an eagle who apparently wants to snack on a toddler. (sorry, insert link won't work for me)

Some of the comments claim it's fake. I've sent it to Snopes for confirmation.

Shit! We need to ban Golden eagles...

A golden eagle is certainly big enough.

I read elsewhere that all animals have a fear of humans regardless of whether one is toddler or not.

Nope, has to be taught. A cougar mother, for instance, will teach her cubs to leave a wide berth. But if she is killed before the lesson gets through, we have a dangerous young cougar on our hands. If an animal does not show fear of humans, it is deported to places unknown or killed. Humans have a zero tolerance for this sort of thing.
Out here in the wilderness, we don't have a stray pet problem. Guess why.

I thought Canadians had the right to bear Golden Eagles. So what's the problem here?

Skeptics note a few markers:
- The videographer posted this video alone, and has no other history. A plant?
- An ornithologist says it is not a golden eagle, and that golden eagles are rare in the Montreal area.
- Scrutinizers say the child keeps rising for a moment after the eagle releases - doctoring of video?
- Scrutinizers say the shadow of the eagle cuts in and out - doctoring of video?
