Pop-Up Ads Lead to Jail Time – Conclusion

Extinct Bird Found, Photographed & Then Eaten
A rare Worcester’s buttonquail (Turnix worcesteri), a probable female, which is also locally known as the Philippines quail, is shown being photographed while being held by a bird hunter in Caraballo (above).
The bird, thought to be extinct, was photographed for the first time in the Philippines, and then sold to a poultry market as food.
Found only on the island of Luzon, Worcester’s buttonquail was known solely through drawings based on dated museum specimens collected several decades ago.
I really don’t know what to say on behalf of my peoples. I wonder how it was prepared.
