White-tailed eagle escaped from Belgian zoo found in Utrecht after stop in Valthermond

Veterinarian Peter Klaver, who specializes in exotic animals, happened to be working nearby when he was asked to help catch the animal. “A blowpipe turned out to be insufficient, it really took a while before we could catch it,” he says RTV Utrecht. “Finally, a stun gun was retrieved from a safe. I used it to stun him and shoot him out of the tree.”
