Memo to the Lebanese: If the bird was a spy, the Israelis would *not* have tagged its leg. So, the next time you see a bird with no identification papers, er, tags, yep, it’s probably a spy! (PS: the “spy” was eventually released 😉
Via Jerusalem Post:
Citizens from the town of Bint Jbeil in south Lebanon were surprised to discover on Tuesday morning a vulture carrying what they claimed was Israeli spy equipment, Lebanese media reported.
According to the reports, the vulture, which arrived in Lebanon from Tel Aviv, according to a tag on its leg band, was immediately captured in order to prevent it from attacking Bint Jbeil’s citizens….
Israel’s neighbors have previously accused the Jewish state of employing the use of spy animals on multiple occasions.
In fact, veteran ornithologist Prof. Yossi Leshem said after the capture of an eagle accused of spying for Israel in 2013, he feared that the increasing phenomenon of capturing such “spy” animals was harming the country’s wildlife preservation.
The street drugs in Lebanon must be really potent.
It’s a good thing Moose and Squirrel only tangle with Boris and Natasha. Can you imagine what would happen if they were spotted walking across the desert in the Middle East?
