According to these new articles, Svanhild Hartvigsen's weight at the time the eagle snatched her, was 12-13 kilos (19 pounds). Someone apparently misunderstood kilos vs. pounds and that has added some confusion. She was 19 pounds

What you have heard in regard to Eagles taking livestock is not true. Eagles will, however, feed on carrion which is probably where that myth came from.

No. This is a fake. I am somewhat of an expert on raptors. The golden eagle can take sheep, small deer, and even wolves sometimes. They can not fly with them however. The Harpy eagle (which is the most powerful) can take a small cow if it is trained to do so. Normally it would take monkeys and sloth. The harpy eagle could not fly away with a child either, because they have "short", jungle wings.
If Haast's eagles were still around, perhaps. This recently extinct eagle fed on the moa, then on humans when the moa was wiped out. They had a wingspan of about 15ft.
