    In the vast fields of Hue City, migratory flocks of birds, most notably storks, have come here to find food and live. That is also when the situation of wildlife hunting is complicated.

    On the picture, functional forces are dismantling a sophisticated bird hunting system, with thousands of fake storks disguised in the middle of the field, combined with nets and sticky traps to lure migratory birds down.

    During the sweeps, the Forest Protection force rescued 194 trapped birds, then took care of them and re-released them back to the natural environment. However, there are still unfortunate cases when some birds, including kittens, died from being caught in nets before being discovered.
