Dozens of Cormorants Debeaked in Belarus

Fish farms pay to kill cormorants as they consume much fish.

A dozens of cormorants from a colony living at a lake near Chashnicy, Belarus, were cruelly debeaked, Belarusian ornithologists report.

The incident is probable to take place on June 16.

The ornithologists found debeaked cormorant nestlings in low-ganging nests as they were easy to reach.

Cormorants consume much fish and fish farms pay to kill them. Every killed bird is estimated $3–$6. The beak of a bird is accepted as a proof.

According to Belarusian ornithologists, around 10,000 cormorants and common herons were killed in 2011. However, it is the first time the birds are killed that ruthlessly: debeaked, they are not able to feed and die slowly of starvation.

As BelaPAN reports, around 2,500 persons have already signed the petition calling to investigate the cruel actions against the debeaked birds.
