Think fleeing saves you? Think again. 🛑 A poacher in Zygi, #Cyprus was caught TWICE in 3 weeks, racking up €18,500+ in fines for illegal mist netting. Big penalties are crucial to ending the illegal bird trapping for good!

Huge victory for wildlife in Lebanon! 🚨 Our teams have dismantled over 63,000 m² of illegal bird nets this autumn, saving an estimated 60,000 migratory birds as a result. 200+ birds rescued + 165 mist-nets dismantled on our latest mission alone! Huge thanks to @LebISF 🫡 🕊️

Post mortems suggest five Hen Harrier chicks found dead in nest on grouse moor in northern England had injuries consistent with being stabbed. New blog (warning - contains distressing info) ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026…

Animal abuser with 2 million followers snapping the neck of a kingfisher and shoving its beak into fruit for ‘content’. 🤬 What the FUCK has our society become? Why does META allow this? Facebook is flooded with abuse content with thousands of likes. It is DISGRACEFUL! 😤😤😤

Caught in the Crossfire: 3 owls - 2 endemic Cyprus Scops & 1 young Barn Owl - were rescued as by-catch from illegal songbird traps (mist-nets & limesticks) by CABS teams in #Cyprus! 🦉✨ Meticulously cleaned & safely returned to the wild. 🚨 Poachers fined €2.2k!

Hard to believe this is happening in 21st century Scotland - Gannet chicks burned to a crisp for nothing more than a "delicacy". The Guga hunt must be outlawed so it can never return.

🚨 125 illegal mist-nets dismantled in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley! In a massive sting operation with @LebISF, APU teams dismantled over 14,000m² of nets, rescued 100+ migratory birds, and 11 suspects face criminal charges. Every net down means thousands more birds fly safe! 🕊️✨

🚨 SHOCKING: Online footage today shows Poachers in Arida, #Lebanon using HEAVY MACHINE GUNS to slaughter migratory storks near homes & highways. Firing military grade weapons at defenseless birds is an outright crime!!! Authorities MUST enforce the law & stop these massacres.

Tuer par "loisir" des êtres innocents, tuer pour prendre son pieds, détruire, dominer, crâner, se vanter, pour oublier qu’on est juste grosse merde ignoble et lâche. La chasse leur procure un sentiment de supériorité et tout ça en toute l'égalité et approuvé par le gouvernement.

Thousands of long-tailed macaques are exported by #Mauritius every year to suffer & die in toxicity testing laboratories in the USA, EU & UK. Shame on @Ramgoolam_Dr & @SeeMauritius - the reputation of Mauritius as a holiday paradise is tarnished by such inhumanity to #monkeys.
