These reckless hunters must be put in jail.
This photo depicting an eagle hunt down by two men who were identified as being residents of the northern district of Akkar has been circulating on the major social media platforms and provoking activists’ resentment.
In the absence of a hunting regulations in Lebanon, this ‘sport’ is taking place without any restrictions almost anywhere across the country and wrongdoings have alarmingly increased.
A law was drafted in 2004 to control the situation by allowing the hunting of some common birds only.
The said law includes the implementation of bird counts in some stopover areas and the administration of training to the hunters but the draft was put on hold following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. [Link]

How did you manage to bring politics intp this?! This is an environmental problem…chill!
its not politics, mafakart b 7ada gher ino l e3lem 3emeloun ino ktashafo shi w inno la2ato makanet tajassos …
so are you saying israel is using eagles now ?
A bunch of idiots shooting down everything they see…
Najib, I think you should title your post: “Eagle Shot Down by Lebanese SHOOTERS In Akkar”
because hunters knows well what to shoot and what to not shoot.
“Lebanese Idiots” would also work
1% of Lebanese hunters knows what to shoot..even the educated one.. when you pay a fortune for the cartridges and you take a day off to go hunting, you will shoot at anything (hunters admit it)..because there is not anything left anyway to shoot at.
Najib, these hunters must be put in Jail for sure and pay a big fine
but again, people shooting people in the streets are running free so i bet no one cares about people shooting birds!
i pity this so called country
that eagle is too beautiful to be shot down 🙁
…but these hunters see pride in shooting it and will brag about it to the whole village for a lifetime, it makes a good conversation and they will be named hunting heros *insert sarcastic disgusted tone*…
and the worse thing is that our culture encourages it …lebanese men see hunting as a self assurance manly sport …that is dispicable actually
what a stupid and ignorant thing to do
How can Lebanese evolve when they squeeze politics and religion in every single stupid, important, big, small…. subject?????????? Instead of condemning an act, we go look for whatever someone else did and find excuses, justifications….. Anyways, to comment on the picture, how can one ask these barely humans to be kind to animals when they are beasts toward their fellow men?
is thiشف an eagle? looks more like a griffon vulture
Savages! Civilized Lebanese…Tfeh! Most likely they went to Skybar and toasted their “conquest”. Bravo!
this no eagle you lebanese morons
How awful!
