This short video begins by showing the effects of polluting our waters and moves on to the causes and what we can do about them. Powerful stuff!

Pointless Murder of Northern Bald Ibis in Italy

“Two-year-old female known as ‘Afra’, had been present at the birds’ wintering location of Orbetello Lagoon, on the Tuscan coast, for around two weeks, before her transmitter stopped sending signals.”

Two weeks!

And why? Not for the pot as the corpse was left where it fell (along with transmitter). Did the murderer simply shoot and move on? Did the murderer see the corpse and transmitter and leave it alone? Why didn’t the murderer bury the evidence as the grouse moor criminals do?

Where is the enjoyment in indiscriminate hunting for pleasure? Will such hunting be blamed and shamed as species die out and the environment continues to decline?

I hope so! But I doubt it!
