Allow me to take you back in time, to November 2014. I was there as a delegate of the Coalition of more than 50 Serbian NGOs gathered around a common goal – to protect two seriously overhunted species, namely the Quail and the Turtle Dove. Unfortunately, this meeting was not about their protection, but about the lack of it!

We have given an awful exhibition of slaughter and destruction, which may serve as a warning to all mankind. Of course, by now most people know they have been slaughtered by hunters for their ivory. This is a very disturbing video of Sandhill Cranes being slaughtered by “hunters.”
