The online magazine “Reef Reporter” reports in detail on the crane massacre in Lebanon.
The Committee against Bird Murder had spread the incredible pictures and reports in October on social media – as a result, the police caught three of the perpetrators.
The drug at the “Reef Reporters” is already two weeks old.

Here is the article: Crane massacre in Lebanon
These days we are again receiving shocking images from Lebanon. This time by cranes.
Dozens of individual hunters pose with the killed animals that they have hung on wire fences or draped on the hoods of their cars.
Even children can be seen in photos posing with the birds that are revered as “birds of happiness” in many countries.
In a report by a colleague from the ABCL bird protection association, it says: “These massacres are carried out every day across the country.”
Videos also show that was recorded for the different parts of the country, not only in the Lebanon Mountains in the north but also from the region around Tire in the far south.
We only hear about individual incidents in a flash. For example, last week near Ouyoun, east of Beirut, a group of pelicans were shot down with automatic M16 assault rifles.
We only know that more than a dozen birds were killed, and the weapon of war incident occurred less than 200 meters away from a military checkpoint.
During our research, we came across other similar incidents in the south and this crane massacre in the area around Tire on the coast.
Because of the corona pandemic, no international team from the bird protection organization can be on site this year.
Apparently a great number of cranes were lured to rest at an estuary with the help of sound dummies, i.e. crane calls played on tape, and then slaughtered from military rifles and shotguns as soon as they started to land.
Many birds died instantly, others were able to fly away injured.
An eyewitness put it this way: “It rained blood from the sky”.
And I mean…The explosion in Lebanon killed more than 160 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless. The detonation of huge amounts of ammonium nitrate in the middle of the capital Beirut also shook the already fragile political situation in the country.
Only a total state failure as a result of nepotism and corruption makes such a catastrophe possible.
People are suffering from Corona and a devastating economic crisis. The money is no longer worth anything. People lose their jobs and then something like that happens.
Is that one reason why we “understand” the massacre that hunters and poachers carry out on migratory birds on their way to their winter quarters?
Should we also believe that poverty forces them to throw dozens of birds from the sky with hailstones?
If one really has nothing to bite and then catches birds to survive, then one could say that for the needy, morality or animal welfare is a luxury
But to shoot down the thousands of swallows that fly by in Lebanon on their journey, birds that are not eaten and are only massacred as a hobby and target exercise, then all understanding and tolerance come to an end.
Because that`s murder!
This also applies to Lebanon, but not only: we abhor the murderers who kill defenseless animals for fun or for a perverse hobby.
No matter which country they come from.
My best regards to all, Venus
