Birds hunting season has been on for a while now, and unfortunately Lebanese hunters are shooting at anything that flies, just as in every year.
Check out this article from Wildlife Extra about hunting in Lebanon and the massacres hunters are committing by shooting very large quantities and targeting some rare species.
The Lebanese Eco Movement says “All kinds of birds are being hunted, and most of hunters are indifferent to the matter of protected birds. We are witnessing the murder of many protected birds, mainly soaring birds (aquatic birds and raptors), including pelicans, storks, cranes, raptors.”
“As for the birds that can be hunted, there is no respect for the numbers and limits. We are witnessing birds being killed in thousands. A single hunter may kill more than one thousand birds. Hunters are of all ages; they may be as young as 10, even though Lebanese law prohibits holding weapons for ages less than 18.”
“Hunting mainly takes place during weekends, but hunters can be seen any day of the week, at any place, even inside cities and between houses.”

It’s very unfortunate that very little attention is brought to this issue.. Hunters in Lebanon seem to have a complete lack of understanding of how their actions threaten the balance of the natural ecosystems.
there should be a rule to limit the hunting in Lebanon!
very unfortunate
when will they get civilized?
hope the ministry of environment takes action even if its late since its been going on that massacre for quite some time
In my opinion hunting should be allowed and unlimited for some birds but it should be prohibited to hunt some some birds that canot be eaten , i have been a hunter for 7 years w my age now is 16

Hala2 lets talk seriously hunting in general is not allowed , bas in lebanon ma fi 2anon so.. Ppl are shooting wat ever the see , and thats totaly wrong cz few years from now these birds will be extinct , soo the goverment should forbid hunting for 1 year , for the birds to redevelop , lay sero many then allow hunting
