Excellent.
Poland is reportedly using drones to help rescue chained dogs.
Not for surveillance of people.
For animals trapped in yards, fields, and remote properties where nobody may see them suffering.
Animal welfare teams are using drones with thermal cameras and powerful zoom lenses to spot dogs left outside, especially at night and in freezing weather.
A chained dog cannot search for warmth.
It cannot escape the wind.
It cannot run for shelter.
So the drone looks for what human eyes might miss:
A small heat signature in the dark.
A dog tied up where no one is supposed to notice.
The footage can also help document neglect and support action when animals need to be removed from dangerous conditions.
It is a simple idea, but a powerful one.
Use technology not just to watch the world...
but to protect the creatures who cannot call for help.
