Hi all,
I couldn't help but bring to you the disgusting situation that currently takes place in Lebanon on a dialy basis.
The photos below speak for themselves...all uploaded on Facebook!!:C
The irony is that these phots weren't uploaded by environmentalists or conservationists to highlight the problem but by the killers themselves. That certainly highlights that this is a widespread problem.
No words can describe how I am feeling while I write this. Its disgusting and beyond belief but its true
The ironic part is that any illegality that occurs in my country Malta, finds itself in the media in a matter of hours worldwide yet what goes on in Lebanon goes unnoticed and not given any attention whatsoever. Illegalities are always wrong anywhere but Lebanon, oh dear its just a disaster. By no inch tape can one compare incidents that happen in Malta to that that occurs in Lebanon.
I don't think anything is really being done to stop this barbaric massacre. Not even in the Stoneage did these things occur because guns didn't exist. All our conservation efforts in Europe are going down the drain...millions and millions of euros wasted. Whats the point that we wate our time to conserve our birds here in Europe so then they are shot down like that in Lebanon...every bird imaginable from Blackcaps to Short-toed Eagles...sick:-C
Where is Birdlife International, where is Birdlife Lebanon (if it even exists), where is the Lebanon government and its respective police and authorities???Is there anyone that actually gives a hoot about our biodiversity????:eek!::eek!::eek!:
Its high time that something concrete happens to stop this senseless and barbaric killing. Birds that are all protected in Europe, some of them vulnerable and endangered are being shot at a scale unimaginable!!!
Is there anyone on BF thats ever been to Lebanon or are there any birdwatchers that even exist there?...any info would really be appreciated
Purely disgusting
