Cormorant fishing is a dying tradition

Hunters have dogs, and these fishermen have birds. This is cormorant fishing. 🐟

    It’s not fishing using explosives an is not fishing using dragnets which is a positive but it’s still abuse of the creature. Note the attachment around it’s neck to stop the bird from swallowing the catch.

    So cruel to keep these birds captive. Tourists should go to their local river to see these beautiful birds dive, swim and catch the fish. Drying off with their wings expanded before flying home to their young.
