FUCKING HUNTERS KILLING ENDANGERED BIRD SPECIES IN EGYPT: HUNTING FOR BLOOD DIAMONDS

The most dangerous beast on Earth is man (Homo insapiens). No creature on this planet is safe from this fucking naked ape.

Looking at this planet from the cold perspective of the abundance of evil that occurs on a daily basis, out of man´s hand of course, we could perfectly call Earth a Demon Factory, throwing here and there the few wonderful and really exceptional persons who decide to walk on the good angel´s path.

This stinking fucking beast (Homo insapiens) goes hunting just for the pleasure of killing. Some fucking bastards of this bloody species love torturing and killing animals. 

They travel to every corner of this planet searching what to shoot and bring it down. These happy trigger maniacs are screwing up the populations of animal species that are on the Red List.

For instance, the Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS) has recently reported the case of a few Maltese hunters who were killing protected and endangered bird species in Egypt (Video 1).

Hunters hunting for blood diamonds and narcotics

What looks like just plain hunting under closer examination reveals an unexpected feature. There are hunters that are hunters and there are hunters that are hunters and hunters. 

Some hunters look like hunters but they not real hunters who are hunting the stuff that hunters hunt although they unfortunately hunt like hunters but what they hunt is not what other hunters who are real hunters hunt. 

They are hunting for something else. Some of these fucking bastards are just using the hunter´s hunting disguise to fool whoever is around them. The hunting gear is a cloaking device.

These fucking hunters who are hunters and hunters but are not hunters but hunt and kill like bloody hunters are interested in picking up illegal merchandise (drugs, blood diamonds, etc.) which is then stuffed inside their hunted prey. In short, some hunters belong to the international mafia.

Who could suspect that a shot bird has a small sack of cocaine or diamonds inside the belly, for instance?

Even the hunter´s cooked bird could be used to transport illegal stuff, much like the roasted chickens with an unusual stuffing – $150,000 worth of cocaine, according to Nigerian police.

And the same thing occurs with some fishermen who look like fishermen but are not fishermen!

Thus, if your neighbour says the he is going on a "hunting safari to Africa", he could be telling you without you realising it that "he is going after some blood diamonds or narcotics" but you don´t know jack!!!

So, you people who work for secret intelligentsiya agencies, you´d better put your boots on, stop scratching your balls and do something positive in your life. Go and fuck up the "cacos" (mafiosi)!!

BIRD SLAUGHTER ON A MASSIVE SCALE IN THE LEBANON

A freshly-shot, still living Short-toed Eagle is proudly presented as a trophy. Armed men pose with freshly killed cranes and pelicans. Another hunter holding a dead Lesser Spotted Eagle grins into the camera lens. His hunting companion has neatly draped his bag for the day - hundreds of shot song birds - on a bedsheet. Two children, hardly eight years of age - inspect wide-eyed two dead Honey Buzzards that their father has brought back today from the hunt. Another still life shows nine freshly shot White Storks in the foreground with behind them the hunter, completely relaxed with a cigarette in one hand and the beak of one of the storks in the other. Such photos give an idea of the incredible damage that Lebanese poachers inflict on the European bird populations. There are several hundreds, perhaps thousands of such trophy pictures. Most are taken by the poachers themselves to show off to other hunters. Some of the photos are even posted on the Internet for friends and acquaintances to see. They prove in great detail that species gravely endangered in Europe are being killed on a massive scale in the Lebanon. And they are especially authentic because they are taken by the hunters themselves. Scientists and conservationists in Europe are now alarmed about the scale of the killing because the Lebanon straddles one of the most important routes for European migrant bird species, the Eastern Flyway. This route is used every spring and autumn by millions of song birds, as well as hundreds of thousands of storks, eagles and other birds of prey.

More than 140 species are affected by poaching

The Lebanese Environmental Movement (LEM), with support from CABS; has monitored the hunters’ Facebook pages for months and meticulously collated more than 700 photographs as proof of the poaching of European migrant birds. The result is a comprehensive photographic documentation that has rendered bird and wildlife conservationists speechless. CABS experts need a full two months to analyse the photographs and count and identify the birds. A total of 13,100 birds are shown on the photos, of which 11,213 can be identified at species level. The spectrum includes song birds such as the Ortolan Bunting, Golden Oriole and Common Redstart, as well as numerous water birds and birds of prey as for instance Lesser Spotted Eagle, Red-footed Falcon and Egyptian Vulture.

The sale of hunting equipment is booming

The most important migration corridor is the Bekaa Rift Valley in the east of the country. This is the continuation of the Jordan Rift Valley and its fertile fields and extensive wetlands are used every year as a stopover for millions of migrant birds on passage. Embedded between the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon Mountains the valley is only a few kilometres wide in places. Here, in this migration bottleneck, hunting has a long tradition. In addition to the sale of the shot birds on local markets, the trade in hunting weapons and equipment is booming here. Hundreds of hunting equipment shops are located in the area of the town of Chtaura alone. In the centre of the town there are 20 such traders in a radius of 50 metres. The second most important migration corridor is the coastal are to the west where above all water bird species and in autumn birds of prey pass through. Illegal hunting is a big problem here as well. In addition to the hobby sportsmen from the capital Beirut there are an increasing number of professional poachers in this region, whose families live from the profits of the sale of dead song birds to restaurants or private persons. These ‘pros’ are capable of harvesting several hundreds of birds daily using decoy devices, mist nets and shotguns.

Help from Europe

In order to put an end to this environmental anarchy, the LEM and CABS believe that is it essential to finally implement a new hunting law (a draft has been on the back burner for years), educate hunters and establish an official organisation to monitor and control hunting. In order to put pressure on the responsible politicians in Beirut to take action the conservationists count on assistance from abroad. “The birds that are killed in the Lebanon are on the Red List of protected species in their breeding areas and great efforts are made for their conservation” comments Bernard Abi Nader, a bird conservation expert from Beirut. The member states of the European Union in particular must take a clear stance against this massacre and put pressure on the Lebanese Government to do more for bird protection. “The EU bird protection guidelines oblige the member states to improve the conservation status of endangered bird species. The necessary measures to protect the complete annual habitat of these species - in the Lebanon as well - must be implemented” demands CABS President Heinz Schwarze. “One such measure could be the use of EU funds for the development of a hunting warden organisation or education of the local population”.

In order to make the responsible politicians in Europe aware of the dimension of this bird conservation problem, CABS and the LEM are currently working on a joint report for the European Commission and the environment ministers of all EU member states. “We intend to use all channels open to us to persuade the Beirut government to finally take action to improve the situation for our migrant birds in the Lebanon” states Heinz Schwarze.

Protests to Lebanese Embassies

The publication of the hunters’ photographs, and a call for protest on the CABS website, have already caused a wave of outrage and led to a flood of protest mails to Lebanese Embassies in the countries of the EU. For the migration season 2013, the LEM plans in parallel a comprehensive public relations campaign in poaching hotspots. This will include educating hunters on the conservation status of migrant birds and the printing, putting up and distribution of relevant posters and brochures. CABS has agreed to provide funding and logistic assistance for this campaign. It is also planned to send a delegation of CABS experts to the Lebanon in autumn in order, together with our LEM colleagues, to collect more date on the scale of the migrant bird hunting problem and seek local solutions.
