Some drunk humans hate them too.
Last week a company based in California called Lucky 7 Drones was shooting instructional videos with a DJI Phantom 3 when a shirtless man walked over and quickly put an end to their production.
They were only flying it about 3-5 feet off the ground when he got irritated by it for some reason and swatted it out of the sky with his shirt like King Kong.
It flew into his leg before crashing down on the street, damaging the device.
It’s valued at $1350, and the company ended up filing a police report and writing about the incidenton their blog.
In California, vandalism of someone elses property over $900 is considered a FELONY! So the officers went to visit this gentleman and explained to him politely (which he did not respond to well) that they had the ability to arrest him on the spot for Felony Vandalism and that the local D.A. does prosecute those charges. They suggested he sober up and tomorrow (which would be today) he pay the necessary restitution to replace this item to avoid the criminal charges. As of Thursday afternoon, we have not heard from the gentleman.

For the record, reports say he was fine even though he got hit on the head by a drone. The show even continued normally.

From the Daily Mail:
It was supposed to provide the perfect festive romantic moment: a mistletoe drone that would get diners at TGI Friday's to kiss on camera.
But the restaurant's plan to lure in festive diners went horribly wrong after one of the machines smashed into a photographer's face at a launch event in New York.
Georgine Benvenuto was left in shock after the machine flew into her face, slicing off the tip of her nose and cutting open a section of her lip.
The ten-inch drone became so entangled in Miss Benvenuto's hair that she even feared she would lose an eye.

Get your stinking drones off me you damned dirty human!
The Royal Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands was filming some drone footage of their chimpanzee enclosure last week, and things didn’t exactly go as planned.
One of the apes didn’t feel like being spied on, so he knocked the drone out of the sky with a stick.
And after it was disabled, his pal climbed down to make sure it was completely out of commission.
The drone may have been destroyed, but fortunately – for us – the GoPro camera survived.
This is just the latest drone attack from animals around the world, including kangaroos, hawks, rams and geese.
War is coming.
Skier Marcel Hirscher had some luck and great timing with that close-call.
