Man’s inhumanity to an innocent eagle
A photograph in which some men are seen attempting to kill an eagle in an inhumane manner after peeling off its skin and cutting off its legs has gone viral on social media and news websites.
Commenting on the matter, two wildlife organizations, ‘Freedom Sri Lanka Foundation’ and the ‘Let Them Live’ said they would take measures to charge the culprits with inhumane animal slaughter under the Flora and Fauna Protection Ordinance (No.22) of 2009.
“There are five men in the picture. We have identified the men as residents of Wanchawala in Galle. They are engaged in this inhumane act as a hobby. The eagle is an endangered and protected species and cannot be killed or sold,” Shashikalana Ratwatte said on behalf of the wildlife organisations.
He said they have requested the Wildlife Department to take action against the culprits.
The organisations requested people to inform them on phone number 070-3303022 and 071-3664019 in case they had any information on the men seen in the photograph.
Meanwhile, the Wildlife Department said they were in the process of taking legal action against the culprits and added that they could be jailed for up to five years if found guilty. (Darshana Sanjeewa)

Such nasty people still live in this earth, 5 years imprisonment is nothing. They should charge them with a hefty fine and imprison them for at least 10 years.

Please at least publish/ telecast this on every media so that these people find it difficult to face the society, and our children will learn how to respect the nature the way our great ancestors did. Most importantly, I think these people should be identified then check for mental retardancy.

Five years not enough for these idiots, committed an unbelievable crime. How could some one do a thing like this. How could we call Sri Lanka a country that has a long history of civilization and religious background. All those in the photo and any other responsible for this crime should be taken in to custody and throw them behind bars without bail until the case is taken up for hearing.

"A photograph in which some men are seen attempting to kill an eagle"?This eagle already looks very dead to me. The head is cut off and placed on the body. Look above its head (behind the head). That looks like a neck. However, the structure of the body seems a bit weird for an eagle.

This kind of action goes on unpunished in the Hikkaduwa coral reef where marine life,- esp. corals (also animals) - is killed or damaged nearly every day by locals, and in an alarmingly increasing number by foreign tourists. Also some turtles are in a very bad state due to severe propeller damage from boats.

Disrespect to the Sinhala Baudha Vinaya. Sinhala people should change and turn away from violence and practise the true Buddhist teachings also not to forget that SRI LANKA is a BUDDHIST COUNTRY.

They should implement the shariya law on these guys and cut their legs off and skin them and then left for public view. They all should face the same punishment, not just the person holding the knife.
