The snake was wrapped firmly around the hawk’s tail, neck, and wings, and had enough strength to immobilize the bird but not to kill him. The snake had no puncture wounds, and was released 24 hours later. The duo locked in battle turned out to be a juvenile Broad-winged Hawk and a Black Snake.

From July 6-8, there was a European conference in Larnaca about illegal bird killing , organized by Terra Cypria. It took out the power plant which supplies 60% of the Republic’s power grid, killed 13 people, wounded some 60 more, and pretty much destroyed two villages. So it’s not a good week in Cyprus!

They pointed out the puncture wounds, likely infected with bacteria that could quickly kill. But, we’re facing a world of shrinking biodiversity and depressingly-high bird kill numbers that demand an accounting outside of our self interest. They simply helped me with my bird.

Legislation forbidding cruelty to animals represents the use of coercion against the interests of the individual coerced, and not to further the interests of any other person (it may do so but need not to be justified).
