Pèp ayisyen, Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti. Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz. Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo. Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo. Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an. Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo. Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti. “Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.” 2 Kwonik 7:14 Ede nou ede Ayiti. Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

Think fleeing saves you? Think again. 🛑 A poacher in Zygi, #Cyprus was caught TWICE in 3 weeks, racking up €18,500+ in fines for illegal mist netting. Big penalties are crucial to ending the illegal bird trapping for good!

Huge victory for wildlife in Lebanon! 🚨 Our teams have dismantled over 63,000 m² of illegal bird nets this autumn, saving an estimated 60,000 migratory birds as a result. 200+ birds rescued + 165 mist-nets dismantled on our latest mission alone! Huge thanks to @LebISF 🫡 🕊️

Animal abuser with 2 million followers snapping the neck of a kingfisher and shoving its beak into fruit for ‘content’. 🤬 What the FUCK has our society become? Why does META allow this? Facebook is flooded with abuse content with thousands of likes. It is DISGRACEFUL! 😤😤😤

Caught in the Crossfire: 3 owls - 2 endemic Cyprus Scops & 1 young Barn Owl - were rescued as by-catch from illegal songbird traps (mist-nets & limesticks) by CABS teams in #Cyprus! 🦉✨ Meticulously cleaned & safely returned to the wild. 🚨 Poachers fined €2.2k!

Hard to believe this is happening in 21st century Scotland - Gannet chicks burned to a crisp for nothing more than a "delicacy". The Guga hunt must be outlawed so it can never return.

🚨 SHOCKING: Online footage today shows Poachers in Arida, #Lebanon using HEAVY MACHINE GUNS to slaughter migratory storks near homes & highways. Firing military grade weapons at defenseless birds is an outright crime!!! Authorities MUST enforce the law & stop these massacres.

Tuer par "loisir" des êtres innocents, tuer pour prendre son pieds, détruire, dominer, crâner, se vanter, pour oublier qu’on est juste grosse merde ignoble et lâche. La chasse leur procure un sentiment de supériorité et tout ça en toute l'égalité et approuvé par le gouvernement.

Thousands of long-tailed macaques are exported by #Mauritius every year to suffer & die in toxicity testing laboratories in the USA, EU & UK. Shame on @Ramgoolam_Dr & @SeeMauritius - the reputation of Mauritius as a holiday paradise is tarnished by such inhumanity to #monkeys.

Ukrainian fitness influencer Vadym Oleynik is facing widespread criticism after viral footage from Oman appeared to show him disturbing sea turtles while posing for the camera. Separate footage shows him holding a tiny turtle hatchling in his hand while smiling for photographs.
