Amazon drones are coming to town. Some locals want to shoot them.

But in Lockeford, many residents were surprised to hear their rural farming town had been picked for Amazon’s program.

“I have a large amount of livestock and horses, and a drone would easily frighten the animals,” said Naydeene Koster. “Horses will run straight through a barbed wire, or really any kind, of fence when they think they’re in danger. I’ve seen horses kill themselves over a flying balloon, I’d hate to see the damage a flying drone would cause coming into their area.”…

Lockeford resident Joy Huffman said her daughters order so much from Amazon that she gets a package delivered almost every day. Still, she’s not sure she’d volunteer for the program. “I wonder how it’s going to work,” she said. “Hopefully, the drone puts it in the right yard.”

“I don’t like the taking people’s jobs away,” said Jennifer Hoy, who moved to Lockeford from nearby Lodi about a year ago. “But I do want to check it out — I’d like to see what it looks like.”
