PACIFIC BEACH, CA – In order to save millions of dollars in salaries and pensions, the city of Pacific Beach, CA has decided to hire hawks as lifeguards for its public beaches. These new lifeguards can spot a drowning victim from over a mile away, quickly pluck them out of the water and return them to shore. The only downside to this new program is that once the person is rescued and returned to shore, they’re immediately eaten. I do suspect this cuts down on the number of repeat offenders. Enjoy!

P.S. Note in the first photo that the gentleman taking a photo of the new lifeguard has already removed his flip-flops… just in case he needs to get out of there quickly. Nothing slows you down more than trying to keep your sandals on while running in the sand.
