Barely an hour after crossing the Alps, the flight of two northern bald ibises ended fatally in #Lombardy: shot dead, in the middle of a meadow.
The endangered migratory #birds were part of an EU conservation project.

While Europe invests millions in #speciesconservation, the same #animals are killed elsewhere by recreational hunters. A cautionary tale about hypocrisy, tradition, and irresponsibility.
